The contribution towards the tasks carried out by the chamber is HUF 5,000 per year (chamber contribution).

- consulting in economic, financial, taxation and lending issues,
- business partner searches,
- tender monitoring.
Competent chambers must be informed within five working days of any changes to the data of business entities or if entities are terminated.
