Free AI prompts for small business owners
Run your business like you have a strategy team
SWOT analyses, customer personas, marketing calendars, pricing strategy, email sequences — copy these free prompts and get consultant-grade thinking without the consultant invoice.
Consultants cost thousands
A SWOT analysis or marketing plan from an agency runs $2,000-$10,000. AI can draft 80% of it in minutes — if you ask the right questions.
You are the whole department
Marketing, ops, HR, customer service — it is all you. Strategic thinking is the first thing that falls off the list.
Generic AI answers waste time
"Write me a marketing plan" gets you fluff. The difference is the prompt — structure, context, and the right follow-ups.

AI prompts for small business questions
Are these small business AI prompts really free?
Yes — the three prompts on this page are free to copy with no signup. The full Small Business pack (52 prompts) is part of Plus ($10/month), and free accounts get 62 prompts across 9 core categories.
I have no AI experience. Can I still use these?
That is exactly who they are built for. Every prompt is fill-in-the-blank: find the brackets, type your details, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude. If you can write an email, you can use these.
Will the AI know about my specific market?
The AI knows general market patterns; you supply the specifics. The prompts are structured to extract your context first — business type, stage, challenges — so the output is tailored, not generic.
What if I run an online store or a service business?
Both. The Small Business pack covers e-commerce and local service businesses, and the library includes dedicated E-Commerce and Sales & Negotiation categories in Plus for deeper dives.
