We’re releasing new Claude for Small Business workflows and integrations to help owners run and grow their business. We're also kicking off the next leg of our Claude SMB tour, with free partner webinars and community-run workshops.
Claude for Small Business now includes 43 workflows and 27 new integrations with tools small businesses already use, including Shopify, Salesforce, TikTok, Atlassian, Zoom, Xero, Gusto, Square, Stripe, and Zapier. The new workflows extend Claude from running the back office to growing the business, and they arrive with a fall schedule of free in-person workshops and partner webinars for owners who want help getting started.
We launched Claude for Small Business in May as a set of connectors and ready-to-run workflows that put Claude inside the tools owners depend on. It has since been installed more than 900,000 times. Thank you to our original, and continued, partners Intuit Quickbooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365.On our spring Claude SMB Tour, more than 1,000 owners in 10 cities told us what they wanted Claude to take on next. About a third asked for help growing the business: generating leads, answering inbound inquiries, and writing proposals. Many also wanted day-to-day reporting handled for them. We built this new release around those requests.
The tour returns this fall with free workshops in 10 US cities. More than 150 organizations we've trained as Approved Claude SMB Trainers will run over 750 workshops in their own communities, and 14 integration partners are hosting free webinars about their connectors.
Here's what small business leaders shared with us during the first leg of our Claude SMB tour:
“What used to take me 120 hours now takes me five minutes. I have so much time on my hands that I can now spend more time with my family, do things I like, and pursue parts of my business that I’ve always neglected.” — Pedro Rubio, Founder and CEO, Blackfyre GovCon, Washington, D.C.
"I really see Claude as an equalizer for small businesses, where we can do stuff as big as a 100 person, 200 person firm now. At 40 people and scaling, that's how we get time back for our clients and culture." — Cara Roellgen, Director of Strategy and Innovation, KBSO Consulting, Carmel, Indiana
"At 6:00 am every morning, it goes and looks through our CRM, gets all of the to-do list items, prioritizes them, and sends out an email saying, here's what needs to be done today, here's the biggest priorities. We call it the daily briefing." — Garrett French, Owner, Driller Design Co., Tulsa, Oklahoma
"I made $20,000 in the last month and a half using Claude to do these professional proposals. I know that's getting the business, and it put money in my bank account. How about that?" — Dan Ninerell, Founder, Modern Classical Chefs, South Jersey, New Jersey
"We tell it [Claude] what the end goal is. It goes and tests, and 90% of the time it gets it right. We're a five-person company. I think we've done quite a bit with it." — Bill Hood, Co-Founder, TruckingMBA, Chattanooga, Tennessee
"The thing that makes it most beneficial to us are the integrations. We use Slack, and that's how we talk to it. It integrates with Intuit QuickBooks. It's pulling everything from everywhere instead of us having to find different pieces of information all over. It's all in one place." — Kati Jo Hodges, Director of Operations, Premier Geotech and Testing, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Here’s a week-in-the-life of a small business owner using Claude to run and grow their business, inspired by how small business owners are using Claude today.

Half the owners we surveyed on the spring tour named data security as their biggest hesitation about using AI. Here's how controls work:

Starting this week, the Claude SMB Tour is back with our partner Tenex, running free half-day workshops in Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Memphis, Savannah, Bentonville, Tampa, and Raleigh. Learn more and register for a workshop, here.
"Lucky to be able to be sitting in that room. The most invested hours of my time that I have had in the last couple of years." — Paola Alvarado, President, CORE Boiler & Mechanical Services, Prairieville, Louisiana
We have also begun identifying SMB-focused consulting partners and system integrators in our Claude Partner Network, beginning with A.team, AnswerRocket, Bold Tech, Caylent, First Line Software, Grid Dynamics, LightCI, Loka, Praecipio, Rosetree Solutions, and The Agile Monkeys, and plan to add more.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be announcing community-run Claude workshops hosted by Approved Claude SMB Trainers, who were trained via dedicated, Tenex and Anthropic-hosted “Train the Trainer” events in San Francisco and New York City this summer.
This fall, the companies behind our integrations will also teach small business owners how to use Claude with the tools they already run on. In the Claude for Small Business partner webinar series, 14 technology partners will each host a free, live webinar on their connector from late September through November. Each session covers what the connector can do inside Claude, how your data moves between the tool and Claude, and a workflow you'll run live before the session ends.

We believe AI adoption among small businesses could have significant public benefit through economic growth and employment. That’s why our Beneficial Deployments team works with organizations that support small business owners and entrepreneurs.
We're partnering with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, the widely recognized leader in practical education for small business owners, which has helped more than 19,000 entrepreneurs across the United States grow their businesses and create jobs.
