AI for small business in Ireland
Practical AI for Irish SMBs — scoped and priced for how small businesses in Ireland actually run. GDPR-aware, LEO grant-eligible, live in weeks.
- Built for 2–50 person Irish businesses
- Runs on tools you already have
- LEO grant-eligible where you qualify
The work, specifically
No retainers for “advisory”. Every engagement produces something running against your real data.
Answer leads out of hours
You're on a job at 4pm and the enquiry goes to whoever replies first. AI intake answers, qualifies and books — without hiring anyone.
Chase quotes automatically
On-brand follow-up on proposals that went quiet. It recovers work that was already most of the way won.
Write up jobs and meetings
A voice memo from the van becomes a CRM note, a next action and a follow-up email before you're back at the yard.
Cut the bookkeeping night shift
AI-assisted reconciliation against Xero, Sage or Surf Accounts, plus a weekly one-pager on how the business is actually doing.
Honest expectations
Lead response is nearly always the right place to start, and it's the fastest to build.
Trading Online Voucher and LEO Digital for Business can fund a meaningful chunk of qualifying work.
It runs quietly on top of the tools you already use. Nobody on your team gets a new login.
From first call to live automation
Short, sequenced, and cancellable at every gate. You always know what the next €1 buys.

What you should know before you buy
Most AI content aimed at small business is written for the American mid-market — big teams, big budgets, no VAT, no GDPR, no LEO grants. This page is the opposite: AI for small business in Ireland, from an Irish operator, priced and scoped for how Irish SMBs actually run.
What AI is genuinely useful for in a small Irish business
- Answering leads out of hours. Most Irish SMB owners lose the first response race because they’re on a job at 4pm. AI intake fixes this without hiring.
- Chasing quotes. Automated, on-brand follow-up recovers work that was already 80% won.
- Writing up meetings and site visits. Notes, next actions, and a follow-up email — drafted before you’re back in the car.
- Bookkeeping admin. Xero, Sage or Surf reconciliation with AI assist — a bookkeeper day per week back.
- Reporting. A weekly “how’s the business” one-pager that writes itself from your CRM, calendar and bank feed.
What AI isn’t useful for yet
Firing your accountant. Replacing a good salesperson. Anything with financial or legal exposure that requires a human sign-off. The honest scope is augmentation, not replacement, for the next 2–3 years.
What it costs
A single AI workflow built once, deployed on accounts you own: €3–8k typical range. A three-workflow engagement: €10–20k. LEO Trading Online Voucher and Digital for Business can fund a meaningful portion where you qualify — we scope engagements to fit.
