But most organisations don't
On average - less than half of all small and medium sized enterprises have adopted any AI solutions.
Approximately 70% of micro businesses (less than 10 employees) have not adopted a single AI solution.
An estimated 47% of SMEs have no intention of adopting any form of automated solutions to help their organisation.
How big is the gap growing between you and your competition?


But why?
In short, most organisations don't understand AI and automation and are therefore fearful of adopting this type of change.
"We don't need it - we're doing just fine"
"We love of our team, we don't want to replace them"
"It won't work with our business"
" Is it safe to implement?"
"It's too complicated"
"It's scary"
"There's no value to us"
"It's going to replace us"
"It's too expensive!"
"We don't understand it"
"We don't have the skills to deploy it"
"It doesn't work!"
"We don't want to change"
"We don't know where to start"

"I don't know how to use it"

"smart organizations will embrace strategic automation... [to] free up time to do the types of tasks that humans are uniquely positioned to perform."

Our Approach
AI and automation are buzzwords. But for many small and medium-sized businesses, they’re also a source of frustration, wasted investment, and unmet expectations.
Failure isn’t just common—it’s systemic.
At Business IQ, we do things differently. Here's how we help you avoid becoming another failed case study:

We focus on people first not just technology - too many providers focus on shiny tech. We focus on "people, process, and technology" in that order.

We start small, but think big - we don't sell you a 5-year roadmap on day 1. We help you prove value in weeks enabling you to scale with purpose.

We cut through the noise - we don't talk in buzzwords, instead we make complexity clear and actionable.

We're partners not vendors - we stay with you through the journey, not plug in tools and walk away.

We align with strategy not shiny objects - if it doesn't solve a real problem or unlock real value, it doesn't get done. We don't automate for the sake of it.
