Who we are

Our mission is to make it easier for you to do business.
We are a membership-based not-for-profit; led by our members, for our members. We are independent and trusted to champion local business success. Less than 5% of our revenue comes from local government.

Tauranga Business Chamber has backed businesses in the Western Bay of Plenty for more than 120 years. We have a range of services for both members and non-members.
We have the Bay of Plenty’s biggest and most active database of local businesses. This ensures our communications transcend and cut through industry silos.
