Small Business — Your AI Business Assistant
By Anthropic
One plugin that gives Claude everything it needs to help run your small
business: 44 skills spanning finance, sales, marketing, operations, and
hiring, plus a router that understands plain English.
You don't need to memorize anything. Just tell Claude what you need — "I'm
stressed about making payroll," "a customer is angry," "who owes me money?" —
and it picks the right skill and walks you through it. Every skill pauses
before taking action: nothing sends, posts, or gets paid without your say-so.
Important: This plugin assists with small business workflows but does not
provide financial, tax, legal, or HR advice. All outputs should be reviewed by
you (and where appropriate, a qualified professional) before use.
Getting started
-
Install the plugin. In Cowork, install it from
claude.com/plugins. In Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins
claude plugin install small-business@knowledge-work-plugins
-
Say "get me started" — a 15-minute setup connects your first two
tools, proves value with one real run, learns your business, and captures
your brand so every report comes out in your colors.
-
From then on, just describe what you need.
No tools connected yet? Every skill still works — from a CSV export, a
pasted email, an uploaded PDF, or plain conversation. Connectors make it
deeper, never mandatory.
Already connected a tool before installing? You may see it listed twice:
once under your own connectors and once on this plugin's Connectors tab.
It is the same tool. Either entry works, the plugin uses whichever is
authorized, and you never need to connect both.

How it keeps you safe
- Approval gates everywhere. Nothing is sent, posted, paid, or written
to your systems without an explicit yes. Coding bills and paying bills are
two separate approvals. Payroll is staged; you press the button.
- No invented numbers. A figure that can't be read is reported as
unreadable, never guessed.
- Your data stays yours. Skills read what they need for the run and
write only what you approve.
