What is Claude for Small Business?
Claude is now inside your business tools.
Anthropic launched Claude for Small Business in May 2026 — a package of 15 ready-to-run workflows and connectors that put Claude inside the tools small businesses already use. It runs on Claude Cowork, Anthropic's desktop task-automation platform, and can repeat tasks on a schedule without you triggering them manually.
15 ready-to-run workflows
Payroll planning, invoice chasing, month-end close, lead triage, campaign creation, cash-flow monitoring, contract review, and more — pre-built and ready to configure.
8+ tool connectors
QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack — connected to Claude with your data, not a demo dataset.
Runs on Claude Cowork
Multistep tasks across multiple apps. Scheduled repeats at intervals you define. No manual triggering, no copy-pasting between tools.
Most small businesses know AI could help. Most don't know how to make it actually work. That's what we do.
Built for AU
The US version doesn't quite fit here.
Claude for Small Business launched with a US-first workflow set. The connectors, compliance logic, and default assumptions are built around American business operations. We adapt every piece for Australian businesses.
Xero, not QuickBooks
90% of Australian small businesses use Xero. The default connector is QuickBooks. We build the Xero integration so your accounts actually connect.
BAS & STP ready
US payroll workflows don't know what a BAS is. We adapt every finance workflow for Australian tax obligations — GST, BAS, Single Touch Payroll.
Local payment tools
Square and Stripe are the AU defaults. We wire those in alongside PayPal so your payment data flows correctly.
Melbourne timezone
Same city, same hours. No offshore support queues, no 3-day response times on something that needed fixing yesterday.
Xero + Claude
Here's what Claude does once it's connected to your Xero.
No exports. No copy-pasting. Claude reads your live Xero data and gets to work.
BAS Preparation
At the end of each quarter, Claude tallies your GST collected and paid in Xero and hands you a draft BAS ready to review and lodge.
Invoice Chasing
Claude finds every overdue invoice in Xero and drafts a personalised follow-up message for each debtor — ready to send with one click.
Month-End Close
Claude checks for unreconciled transactions, flags anything unusual, and produces a plain-English summary of the month — no accountant jargon.
Cash Position
Ask Claude where you stand today. It pulls your bank balances, what's owed to you, and what you owe — and gives you a clear 30-day picture.
Payroll Reconciliation
Claude cross-checks your Xero payroll figures against what's been reported to the ATO via Single Touch Payroll and flags any gaps before lodgement.
Expense Categorisation
Claude reviews uncategorised transactions in Xero and suggests the right account code and GST treatment for each one — you just approve.
Supplier Payments
Claude lists every bill due in the next 7 days, grouped and ready for you to approve as a payment batch — nothing slips through the cracks.
Weekly Business Pulse
Every Monday morning, Claude delivers a one-page summary of last week's revenue, expenses, and outstanding invoices — straight from your Xero data.

Common questions
Before you ask.
Yes. Anyone using Claude Cowork needs a Claude Team plan, billed directly by Anthropic. We don't resell Claude licenses — you pay Anthropic directly at their published rates.
We charge for implementation: setup, custom workflow builds, and optional ongoing management. Claude licensing is a separate cost paid directly to Anthropic — we don't add a margin to it.
Yes — this is one of our key differentiators. Xero is Australia's dominant accounting tool but isn't a default Claude for Small Business connector. We build the Xero integration as part of our AU-adapted setup service.
Standard setup (Tier 1) takes 1–2 weeks from kickoff. Custom workflow builds (Tier 2) are typically 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. We'll scope it clearly before you commit.
