Small Businesses Are Jumping on AI – Are You Falling Behind?

ByJeffery Pyle

AI isn’t coming. It’s already here

Use AI automation to save time and money

AI is already here. Small businesses across the country are using AI to work faster, smarter, and more competitively. If you’re still sitting on the sidelines, there’s a real risk you could get left behind.

The numbers don’t lie: AI adoption is exploding

A recent national survey by Reimagine Main Street (with support from the National Small Business Alliance and others) reveals a major shift:

  • 76% of small businesses are already using or actively exploring AI
  • 1 in 4 use AI every single day in their operations
  • 51% are “AI explorers” — interested, but not yet seeing enough value to dive in
  • Just 5% say they’re opposed to AI altogether

Translation? The majority of your competitors are either already using AI or about to start. The window for early advantage is closing fast.

AI is helping small businesses do more with less

The ones using it aren’t dabbling. They’re gaining real, measurable benefits:

  • Streamlining marketing tasks
  • Predicting cash flow issues before they happen
  • Identifying customer behavior trends
  • Making faster, smarter resource decisions

In plain terms: AI is saving them hours and driving better business results.

YES! I WOULD like more info, please!!

Why some are still holding back (and why that’s risky)

Yes, some business owners are hesitant. The most common roadblocks?

  • Confusing tools or concerns about data security
  • Not seeing immediate ROI
  • Lack of hands-on training or someone to guide the way

But waiting until everything feels “perfect” could cost you:

  • Missed growth opportunities
  • Wasted time on manual tasks
  • Falling behind competitors who are already optimizing

You don’t need to dive in headfirst. Just take the first step

Pick one part of your business you wish ran smoother. Emails? Invoicing? Customer follow-up?

Then explore how AI could handle that for you. Even small wins add up — and build momentum.
