There are several business associations in Guatemala.

The largest one, Coordinating Committee of Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial, and Financial Associations (CACIF), is the umbrella to eight chambers or associations that gather over 1,500 companies.  The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) is also very active. 
All chambers accept U.S. companies as members.
