Practical AI consultancy for small businesses
You know things are messier than they should be, but not where AI and automation would actually help, or in what order. We find out, give you a plan, and can help you put it in place.
We recommend only what solves your real problem. Sometimes that is a small change.
Owners feeling admin overload or stalled growth
Businesses of roughly 1 to 50 people with disconnected tools, evenings lost to admin, or a feeling that they are leaving work on the table. Construction and trades are where we start, but we are happy to talk to other small businesses.
Too many tools, not enough clarity
Everyone is telling you to use AI. Few can tell you which jobs in your business it suits. Without a plan you risk buying tools that do not talk to each other, or nobody uses.
From assessment to something working
What an engagement can include. We agree the scope with you in the proposal.
- An AI Growth Assessment: how enquiries, follow-up, admin and money flow today
- A workflow map and a prioritised automation plan
- Choosing tools and connecting them where a connection is available, for example quoting, calendar, CRM and accounts software
- Staff training and simple written procedures
- Managing the implementation
- Reviews to keep improving it
What you get each month
After set-up, a monthly support arrangement keeps things running and improving. The terms and cost are agreed in your proposal.
- Agreed review time and monitoring
- An improvement list, kept up to date
- Access to ask questions as they come up
- A short summary of what changed
Three steps before anything is built
We start by understanding your business, not by selling you a tool.
Discovery call
A short conversation about how you win work and where admin slows you down. No obligation.
AI Growth Assessment
We look at how this part of your business really runs and confirm whether the consultancy is the right fit.
Tailored proposal
A written plan setting out the work, the ongoing support and the costs. Nothing starts until you approve it.
What this does not do
Being clear about limits is part of the service.
- Advice on business workflow and tools only, not legal, tax, financial or HR advice
- We recommend and you decide
- We cannot guarantee growth or savings
- We will not recommend a service you do not need, including our own
- Staff time from your team is needed for it to work
We provide business workflow and tools support only. This is not legal, tax, financial or regulated advice.
Honest answers
What is an AI Growth Assessment?
A structured look at how your business takes enquiries, follows up, does admin and handles money, ending in a written, prioritised plan.
Do I have to buy your other services?
No. The plan may recommend one, several or none of them. Often the best first step is small.
Will AI replace my staff?
That is not the aim. It is to take repetitive admin off people so they can do the work only they can do.
How long does it take?
It depends on scope, which we agree in the proposal.
Do you work outside construction?
Yes, though construction and trades are where we have first-hand experience. See the construction page.
Where this fits with the rest
We recommend only what solves a real problem, so you may need one of these, or none.
