Questions about AI consulting for small businesses
What does an AI consultant for small business do?
Works out where AI can genuinely save time or money in your business, recommends the right tools and builds or sets them up — rather than just writing a strategy document.
How much does an AI consultant cost?
We start with a fixed-fee one-week workflow audit, then optional build sprints. See the pricing page for how it works.
Do we need a big budget or a tech team?
No. We work with lean teams who have no in-house developers, and we build on the tools you already pay for wherever possible.
Which AI tools do you recommend?
Whatever fits your work. Often that’s Claude or ChatGPT plus your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, connected by a few custom automations.
How quickly will we see results?
Most clients have their first workflow running within 2–4 weeks of the audit.
