What's The ROI of AI for Small Business?

Let's do the maths for a typical 10-person Australian small business.

Real Example: 10-Person Team (Recent Client)

Investment:

  • • 10 staff trained in AI 101
  • • $1,650 per person (volume discount)
  • • Total investment: $16,500
  • • Each person saves 2 hours per week minimum
  • • Average hourly rate: $50

Payback:

  • • Weekly time savings: 20 hours
  • • Weekly value: $1,000
  • • Monthly value: $4,300
  • • Payback: 16 weeks

Year 1 total benefit: ~$51,600

Net benefit: ~$35,000 after investment

This uses conservative numbers (2 hours saved per week). Most teams save 5-10 hours once they adopt fully. Real ROI is typically higher and faster.

AI for Small Business FAQs

Is AI worth it for small businesses in Australia?

Yes. Small businesses get ROI faster than enterprises because there's less bureaucracy. AI saves time on admin, speeds up customer response, and multiplies your team's output without hiring. Most small businesses we work with see payback in 18-30 days.

Can small businesses afford ChatGPT Teams?

ChatGPT Teams costs $30 USD per user per month (about $45 AUD). For a 10-person team, that's $450/month. If each person saves 2 hours per week, you're saving $4,000+ per month in productivity. The tool pays for itself in week one.

Do we need to hire someone to manage AI for our business?

No. We train your existing team to build and manage AI tools themselves. That's the whole point. You don't need a Chief AI Officer or a data scientist. Your operations manager or office admin can run this after our training.

What if my team doesn't adopt AI after training?

We build tools people actually want to use. During training, everyone builds GPTs for their own pain points. When people solve their own problems with AI, adoption is automatic. We also provide usage policies and change management guidance. Adoption rates in our programs are 85%+.

Can AI help with compliance and regulatory requirements?

Yes. We build compliance GPTs that help your team check regulations, generate required documentation, and stay on top of industry standards. Whether it's WHS in construction, RACGP in healthcare, or mining safety protocols, AI makes compliance faster and more consistent.

How quickly can we see results?

Immediately. In AI 101, people build their first custom GPT during the 4-hour workshop and use it that afternoon. AI 201 delivers working workflows within 1-2 weeks. You're not waiting months for deployment. You're using AI by the end of week one.
