Members Say

From the membership.

“The permits clinic walked us through the whole licensing stack in one sitting. We opened the second kitchen eight weeks later.”

FAQ

Before you ask.

Ask the desk directly →
When do dues renew?
Anniversary-date renewal, prorated quarterly if you join mid-year. The estimator above uses the same table the desk uses.
Is the chamber only for storefronts?
No; contractors, clinics, home-care agencies, garages and trucking operations are the backbone of the roster. If you work in Chelsea, there's a seat.
Do nonprofits and startups get a rate?
Nonprofits take 20% off any tier; businesses under three years old take the Neighbor seat at $145 for the first year.
Who signs the application?
Any owner or officer. The membership desk reviews weekly; you hear back within five business days.

Still weighing the seat?
