The British Chamber of Commerce Singapore is an independent membership organisation committed to strengthening the ties between the UK and Singapore. We have done so since 1954.
Our goal is to deliver member value through the services we offer, that all work towards supporting our members in achieving your business objectives and aligning with our mission of Building Networks, Connecting Businesses and Creating Opportunities.
Whether you are just starting your research into ASEAN by scoping the market opportunities in Singapore, have established your business and seeking growth, building connections to the UK Government, or looking for brand exposure and employee development activities, the Chamber is here to support your needs at every stage of your journey.
With a full calendar of activities throughout the year including events, publications and opportunities to collaborate with our members, the Chamber team is available to help as a point of resource, introductions, networking, learning and profile-raising.
Ultimately, our entire network benefits from our leading position as a strong and credible voice for our our members and British businesses in Singapore and beyond.
Our Sterling membership option is a premium choice for organisations of any size who are looking to stand out, and is the starting point for those keen to partner with us on a larger scale. Sterling members are a champion of British business in the region and committed to the long-term influence of the British Chamber. Members in this category will receive all the benefits of other membership categories, plus invitations to events limited only to this exclusive group, the Board and our Annual Partners, plus priority invitations to relevant roundtable discussions and trade mission activities. Your brand will be visible as a Sterling member and we will prioritise sharing your news and activities. Your membership engagement will be closely monitored, and you will be offered opportunities to meet with our senior leadership team throughout the year.
Our Medium Business membership option is the choice for organisations with between 50-200 employees, or those with a small footprint in Singapore who are part of a larger brand. We understand growing and influential businesses operate through multiple channels to advocate for their needs. Your growing business is typically looking to increase engagement with the business community in Singapore. With many employees, your team will be able to join our member events and use those opportunities for learning and networking, representing your business. For your C-Suite and senior leadership, we provide unique access and events across industries. The Chamber also offers opportunities to participate in senior-level and B2G discussions addressing policy issues, regulatory concerns, market access barriers and economic development initiatives that impact your industry and the wider economy.
Your growing business understands how to navigate the local ecosystem but may not have a significant voice in your industry to drive progress. We can provide access to industry influencers and Government decision makers, representing and support the needs of smaller businesses, working to address regulatory challenges, promote favourable policies, and provide a platform for your concerns to be heard. We also understand you may need support navigating government policy, licensing, or talent issues, and access to products and services tailored for SMEs. You can nominate up to 50 Singapore-based employees to be registered members, enjoying all the benefits, and join a community of thriving small businesses in our network.
Our Micro Business option is for new or micro businesses that have only 1-2 employees in total. We recognise that making connections and growing your business is key at this stage, and open our events to members and non-members throughout the year to maximise the opportunities to expand your network. We provide opportunities for you to make a great first impression and practice your "elevator pitch" at over 100 events a year and maintain a thriving small business community. We also understand you may need support navigating government policy, licensing, or talent issues, and access to products and services tailored for SMEs.
As a business without "feet on the ground" we provide support in starting a business in Singapore by making a select number of introductions to our members, where relevant, to help you navigate the market. With over 100 events a year, there is always an opportunity to meet Singapore-based members when you are in town, and we'll keep you up to date with our events calendar so you can plan ahead. Overseas businesses can work with our team to plan ahead for your next visit, ensuring you attend opportune events, are able to use our office facilities, and meet our Executive Team. In the meantime, your business can publish thought leadership, share your news and your updates to our member network.
Our Associations membership option provides a platform for the secretariat of such organisations to include up to 15 individuals with full member benefits, including your Board/Committee Members. As a fellow membership organisation, we understand that you represent the voice of your members and have unique insights to contribute to your industry, which can be amplified through our broader network. We will work with you to showcase our combined expertise and connections in senior-level and B2G discussions. We want to help you to expand your membership and presence. Association representatives can connect with potential clients, suppliers, and strategic partners through our events and our wider network.
