AI Training for Small Businesses
A practical, half-day AI training workshop built for small businesses and SMEs. Real work done on the day, in plain English, with the hours it saves landing the same week.
Practical AI Training for Small Businesses, Built Around Your Working Day
Running a small business means doing everything yourself: the work, the admin, the marketing and the customer service. AI becomes the extra pair of hands you cannot afford to hire, and this workshop shows your team exactly how to use it on the jobs already on their desk.
It is not a lecture on artificial intelligence. It is a hands-on half day where your people bring real tasks, from real customers, and leave having done them faster. No jargon, no theory, no homework. Just the two or three moves that quietly cut hours out of every week.
What Your Team Learns in Our Small Business AI Training
Four practical modules, each built around the work a small business actually does. Your team leaves able to do all four, not just nod along to them.
Emails, admin and daily communications
The inbox and the paperwork are where the day disappears. Your team learns to draft, reply and tidy up in a fraction of the time, in a voice that still sounds like your business rather than a robot.
- Draft and clear emails in minutes, not hours
- Turn rough notes into tidy documents
- Summarise long threads and attachments
Marketing, social media and local visibility
Most small businesses know they should post more and rank better locally, and never find the time. We show your team how to produce a week of content and sharpen your local presence in one sitting.
- A week of social posts in an afternoon
- Website and Google Business copy that gets found
- Simple local SEO and review prompts
Quotes, proposals and winning business
The work you win pays for everything else. Your team learns to turn an enquiry into a sharp, professional quote or proposal fast, so nothing sits in the drafts folder while a competitor replies first.
- Faster, better-looking quotes and proposals
- Follow-ups that actually go out
- Tender and pitch drafts in a fraction of the time
Research, planning and running the business
From checking a supplier to making sense of your own numbers, AI becomes the analyst you cannot afford to hire. Your team leaves able to research, plan and report without the usual Sunday-night slog.
- Size up suppliers, competitors and markets fast
- Turn a messy spreadsheet into a clear summary
- Draft plans, policies and reports in minutes
How AI Training for Small Businesses Works
The format is a half-day AI Basics Deep Dive for up to eight people, at £1,499 +VAT, delivered online or in person anywhere in the UK. Small enough that we use your own quotes, emails and spreadsheets as the examples, not made-up ones.
Sessions are hands-on from the first ten minutes. We come to you or run it live online, whichever disrupts the working week least. Everyone leaves with a finished piece of real work, a reusable prompt kit, and one job set up to run automatically. For the full session breakdown, see the AI Basics Deep Dive.

AI training for small businesses: your questions answered
How much does AI training for a small business cost?
The programme is £1,499 plus VAT for a half day, for a group of up to eight people from your team. One flat price, not a charge per head, so the more of your team who come, the better the value.
How long does the training take?
A single half day. Most teams start using what they have learned the same afternoon, and reach a comfortable working level within a couple of weeks.
Do we need any technical knowledge?
None. If you can send an email and use a web browser, you can do this. We teach in plain English and leave the jargon at the door.
Can you come to us, or is it online?
Both. We run the session at your premises anywhere in the UK, or live online if that suits your team better. The content is the same either way.
How many people can join a session?
Up to eight from one business. That keeps it hands-on, so everyone gets time on real tasks rather than watching a slideshow.
Which AI tools will we actually use?
The ones that earn their place: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity. We show you which tool fits which job, so you are not paying for five subscriptions you never open.
Is our business data safe?
Yes, if you use the tools properly, and we show you how. You will learn what to put into an AI tool, what to keep out, and which settings protect your information.
What if we have never used AI before?
Good. Most people who book have barely touched it. We start at the beginning and build from there, so nobody gets left behind.
