What we do

Responsible AI support for small firms

AI readiness reviews

We assess your current tools, workflows and risks, then recommend realistic next steps. You get a clear picture of where AI can help, where it should be avoided and what controls are needed before rollout.

Responsible AI policies

We draft practical AI usage policies for small firms, covering data handling, approvals, human review and supplier checks. The result is a simple document your team can actually follow.

Staff training workshops

We run short, focused sessions for owners and teams on safe AI use, prompt writing, accuracy checks and privacy basics. Training is tailored to your sector and current skill level.

Vendor and tool guidance

We help you compare AI tools, understand terms and spot hidden risks before you commit. Our guidance keeps purchases grounded in business needs, security, compliance and value for money.

Governance setup

We create lightweight governance structures for small organisations, including review steps, ownership, record keeping and escalation routes. This keeps AI use accountable without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

Ongoing support

We offer continued advice as your use of AI grows, including policy updates, team refreshers and risk reviews. That way, your approach stays current as tools and regulations change.

Frequently asked questions

How much do your AI advisory services cost for a micro-business?

As a UK registered non-profit, our introductory consultations, ethical audits, and foundational workshops are completely free for small businesses and charities. Funding from industry partners and government grants covers our costs, ensuring you receive unbiased, practical guidance without putting any strain on your operational budget.

How do we ensure using generative AI doesn't breach UK GDPR?

We help you set up strict data governance policies. This includes configuring AI tools to opt out of training on your data, anonymising customer details before input, and choosing platforms with UK hosted servers to guarantee your compliance with Information Commissioner Office data privacy regulations.

We want to use AI but don't know where to start safely. Can you help?

Yes. We conduct a tailored readiness assessment of your business operations. Our team identifies low risk high impact areas like customer service templates or basic administrative automation and provides step by step guidance to implement these tools responsibly, ensuring your staff feels confident and supported.

How can we prevent bias when using AI for recruiting or marketing?

We provide practical frameworks to evaluate software vendors and test AI outputs. Our training teaches your team how to spot algorithmic bias, implement essential human oversight, and establish clear ethical guidelines, ensuring your hiring and marketing decisions remain fair, inclusive, and completely legally compliant always.

Our staff are worried that adopting AI will threaten their job security.

We offer change management workshops to reframe AI as a supportive tool rather than a human replacement. By involving employees in the adoption process and training them in prompt engineering and ethical oversight, we help transition your workforce into higher value roles, boosting overall productivity.

How do we choose responsible AI vendors when there are so many?

Our independent experts provide a curated directory of vetted tools and a simple checklist for software procurement. We teach you to ask suppliers critical questions regarding data ownership, energy efficiency, transparency, and security standards, helping you to make responsible ethical decisions for your local business.
