AI automation for small businesses.

What AI can take off your week, where to start, what it costs and how to tell if your business is ready.

Your week, minus the admin.

When you run a small business, the admin lands on you. Here's a typical week and what changes when AI takes on the jobs that repeat.

An example week. The audit maps yours.

It saved me a lot of time, around 10 to 12 hours a week, for researching ideas, writing blogs, creating social media posts.

Is your business ready for AI?

If the same admin lands on someone's desk every week, you're ready. Here are the four worries that usually come next.

  • We don't have a tech teamYou don't need one. We work with what you already have, build around your existing systems and handle the technical side.
  • We don't have time for a projectWe keep your part short: just enough to understand how things work, then we do the rest.
  • We tried AI and it didn't stickMost AI projects start with the software instead of the business. We start with what's worth building and stay until it's part of the routine.
  • We don't want to be locked inEverything is built in your own accounts. If we stopped working together tomorrow, it all keeps working.

Where to start and what it costs.

You can start as small as one question. These are starting prices. Once we know what you need, you'll get a price for the work before anything starts.

  • One question

    Strategy session

    £297

    A focused session on the question that matters most, with clear next steps after.

  • The whole business

    AI audit

    from£1,997

    A full look at your tools and workflows, turned into a plain-English roadmap. If you go ahead with a build, the fee comes off it.

  • One job, built

    Your first build

    from£1,097

    A workflow or custom tool for the job that costs you most, with handover training included. Custom AI agents start from £3,497.

It's all built in your own accounts, so you pay for your tools directly at their own prices. We add nothing on top.

FAQs

What can AI do for my business?

Take on the work that repeats: replies to enquiries, lead follow-up, social posts, newsletters and your numbers pulled into one place. Which jobs come first depends on where your time goes. That's what the AI audit finds.

How do I start using AI in my small business?

Start with the jobs that land on your desk every week. A strategy session at £297 tackles one question. An AI audit, from £1,997, ranks every opportunity by what it will save you, so you know what to build first.

How much does AI automation cost for a small business?

A workflow or custom tool starts from £1,097 and a custom AI agent from £3,497. The AI audit starts from £1,997 and if you go ahead with a build, the audit fee comes off it. After that you pay for your own tools, at their own prices.

Is my business too small for AI automation?

Not if the same admin lands on someone's desk every week. Grip Clean is an owner plus a team and Scappa is a founder plus a developer. Both run their AI tools themselves.

Who owns what you build?

You do. Everything is built in your own accounts, so it keeps working if we stop working together.

Do I need a tech team to use AI?

No. We work with what you already have, build around your existing systems and handle the technical side. Then we train you and your team to run it.

How soon will we see results?

Usually within weeks. We start with the quick wins and test them on real work. Grip Clean had its first two tools live within a week of saying go.

AI is here. Most will wait. You don't have to.
