Practical AI training built for small business owners

Create reliable prompts and verification procedures for planning, research, marketing, sales, service, operations, finance, hiring support, training, and reporting.

Improve customer and business workflows without delegating legal, tax, accounting, financial, employment, healthcare, engineering, safety, licensing, or regulatory decisions to a model.

From AI fundamentals to responsible business growth

View all 5 modules
  1. Module 01

    Owner Accountability and AI Governance

    Build governance a busy owner can actually maintain: a two-page policy staff read, a one-sheet register with named owners and review dates, and decision records that survive the day everyone forgets who agreed to what.

  2. Module 02

    Vendor and Tool Assessment

    Assess an AI product the way an owner can afford to: one afternoon, twenty-four questions covering data handling, security, claims and obligations, continuity and exit, with red flags that end the conversation.

  3. Module 03

    Security and Customer Data Controls

    Apply a proportionate control set to the accounts, devices, and data an AI-assisted business runs on, decide retention and deletion deliberately, and hold an incident runbook whose phone numbers are already filled in.

  4. Module 04

    Employment, Consumer, and Accessibility Risk

    Recognise where employment law, consumer protection, and accessibility expectations reach an AI-assisted small business, what an owner does about each, and the exact point at which the question belongs with a qualified professional.

  5. Module 05

    Verification, Leadership, and Change

    Have AI-assisted work checked by someone who did not produce it, test the controls rather than assume them, and lead a small team through the introduction, change, or withdrawal of an AI workflow.

Independent professional education

MA-SBOC is an independent professional education program. It is not a business license, professional license, government certification, regulatory approval, or substitute for qualified legal, accounting, tax, financial, healthcare, engineering, safety, cybersecurity, licensing, or regulatory advice. AI-generated outputs require human verification, and business owners remain responsible for decisions made using them. Customer and employee information must be handled under applicable privacy and security requirements; marketing claims must be truthful and supportable; employment decisions require qualified human oversight; and financial and tax outputs require qualified professional review. The program is not endorsed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Internal Revenue Service, any state business agency, chamber of commerce, professional association, accrediting organization, software vendor, regulator, or government agency. No professional education hours or approvals are claimed, and no revenue, ranking, funding, profitability, productivity, customer-growth, compliance, or return-on-investment result is guaranteed.
