Membership
Membership isn’t a badge. It’s an advantage.
Membership is open to businesses of every size in Greater Knysna. Fees are set by the Chamber and every application is reviewed before activation.
Annual fees
Five categories, one application.
Annual fees as published by the Chamber. Monthly equivalents are shown for budgeting; the annual fee is the published price.
Every membership includes
- A basic business listing in the Chamber directory
- Invitations to Chamber events and networking
- A voice through the Chamber's sub-committees

What membership actually gives you
- Connect and grow — networking with businesses across Greater Knysna, including the monthly Boerie Bash the Chamber partners on rather than competing with.
- A collective voice — representation on municipal issues through seven sub-committees that mirror the municipality's portfolios.
- Visibility — a listing in the Chamber's business directory, with advertising options available.
- Information — Chamber notices, documents and municipal updates, including infrastructure and service notices.
- Skills and enterprise — access to Chamber skills and enterprise initiatives, including the Knysna Education and Skills Hub (KESH).
