Claude for small business

Your team has heard of AI. Now make it actually useful.

Most small businesses have tried AI and got nowhere. We set Claude up around how your business actually works, train your team on their real tasks, and leave you with a plan for what to automate next. One day. £500.

Get your whole team set up with Claude in a day

A one-day Claude setup and training session for your whole team. Claude configured around your business, everyone trained on their real tasks, a prompt library built for your workflows, and a written AI roadmap prioritised by return.

  • Claude set up for your business

    Custom instructions, projects for your core workflows, and your price lists, templates and FAQs loaded as knowledge — so it already knows how you work.

  • Your team trained on their actual tasks

    Not a slide deck. Everyone does one real job from their own week with Claude, and leaves knowing how to do the next one.

  • A prompt library built for your workflows

    15–25 saved prompts specific to your business — quotes, replies, proposals, notes, job ads — in a shared document the team uses daily.

  • An audit of your biggest automation opportunities

    We walk through how the business runs and find the two or three places where automation would pay back fastest.

  • A written AI roadmap, prioritised by ROI

    Delivered within three days: what to do next, in what order, with estimated hours saved. Yours to act on, with or without us.

What Claude can do

The work it takes off your plate this week

Whatever your business does, most of the week is spent on the same things: replying, quoting, chasing, writing, planning. This is where Claude earns its keep — once it's set up properly.

How it works

From “we should probably use AI” to actually using it

1

Fifteen-minute call

We check the Kickstart is right for you, pick a date, and send a short intake form so the day is built around your business.

2

Kickstart day

Claude set up, your team trained on their real work, a prompt library built, and your operations audited for automation.

3

Your AI roadmap

Within three days: what to do next, in what order, with estimated hours saved. Most of it you can act on yourselves.

4

Build — only if it pays

Where the roadmap shows an automation worth building, we prototype it first so you see it working before committing.

Who you're dealing with

Dan Fitsall, founder

I spent most of my career watching good people lose half their week to admin nobody hired them for. Vantage exists because the fix is now cheap and quick, and almost nobody sets it up properly. I run every Kickstart myself: the intro call, the day, the roadmap, and the two weeks of questions afterwards.

  • Nearly twelve years in recruitment before this
  • Based in Bristol, works UK-wide
  • One person. No handoffs, no account managers.

Pricing

Start small. Go further only if it pays.

Fixed prices, agreed up front. The Kickstart roadmap tells you whether anything beyond it is worth doing — and you can act on it without us.

When the roadmap finds something worth building

Claude handles the writing and thinking. Some jobs need to run without anyone touching them at all. That's what we build — only where the Kickstart audit shows it will pay back.

Custom AI Agents

Purpose-built assistants that answer enquiries, book appointments, do research and update your systems — around the clock, without a human in the loop until one is needed.

Workflow Automation

The steps between your tools — forms to spreadsheets, emails to your CRM, documents to the right folder — running on their own.

CRM & Sales Automation

Leads scored, followed up and kept warm automatically. Your pipeline stays clean without anyone typing notes at 6pm.

Document AI

Invoices, contracts and forms read, classified and routed in seconds — with the information extracted where you need it.

AI Roadmap & Consulting

Honest advice on what's worth automating, what isn't, and in what order. Starts with the Kickstart roadmap.

Managed AI Ops

Ongoing monitoring and improvement for the automations we build, so they keep working as your business changes.

Don't take our word for it — drive one

Every build connects the tools you already use and runs around the clock. Here is the shape of what we deliver — and you can try it yourself.

FAQ

Common questions answered

Four blocks. We set Claude up around your business (accounts, projects, custom instructions, your documents loaded as knowledge). We train your team hands-on using their own real tasks. We build a prompt library for your workflows. And we audit where automation would pay back fastest. Within three days you get a written AI roadmap. Half-day sessions cover all four blocks; full-day sessions go deeper on each.

Yes. £500 flat for the day, the prompt library, the audit, the roadmap and two weeks of follow-up support. The only thing not included is your Claude subscription itself, which you hold directly — we help you choose the right plan on the day and never resell it.

Because a blank chat box is where most teams give up. The difference is setup: Claude configured with your business context, projects built for your actual workflows, and saved prompts for the tasks you do every week. Once it already knows your prices, tone and templates, using it stops being an effort and starts being the obvious shortcut.

Any small business where people spend too much of the week on repetitive writing, admin and back-and-forth — typically 2 to 50 staff. We're deliberately not sector-specific. Trades, professional services, agencies, retail, clinics, manufacturers: the problems are the same and so is the fix.

On the day we cover exactly what is and isn't safe to paste, set up the right plan and settings for your needs, and put simple rules in place for the team. We can sign an NDA before we start. Any automation we go on to build is GDPR compliant and you own it outright.

You get your written AI roadmap within three days and two weeks of email and WhatsApp support while the habits bed in. The roadmap is yours — most of it you can act on without us. Where it identifies an automation worth building, our Launchpad and Accelerate packages exist for that, but there's no obligation and no pitch.

Both. The Kickstart is where every engagement starts because it's the fastest way to find out what's worth automating. Launchpad (£2,500, one workflow) and Accelerate (£5,000, three workflows) are the build packages for when the roadmap shows something worth doing properly.

No. We're based in Bristol, so on-site sessions are easiest across Bristol, Bath and the South West. Remote sessions work anywhere in the UK and cover exactly the same ground.

Trust

Straightforward on the boring stuff

Your data stays yours

We don't keep your documents after a Kickstart, and nothing you share is used for anything but your session.

NDA on request

Happy to sign one before the intro call if you'd rather.

UK GDPR

Personal data is handled in line with UK GDPR. On the day we cover what's safe to paste into Claude and what isn't.

You own it

The prompt library, the roadmap, and any automation we go on to build are yours outright.
