Start an AI Business Documentation and SOP Service

Every growing business knows its processes live in the owner's head and every new hire pays for it, but documentation always loses to urgent work; AI drafting from interviews and screen recordings makes the grind fast, and almost nobody sells this as a done-for-you service.

1. 1

   Build the capture-to-doc workflow

   Interview the person who does the task, or have them record their screen while narrating, then use AI tools to draft the SOP from the transcript. Your edit for accuracy, order, and exceptions is what makes the doc usable.

2. 2

   Create a template system

   A consistent SOP format (purpose, owner, steps, screenshots, edge cases), an onboarding guide template, and a simple process map style. Templates are your speed and your brand in one.

3. 3

   Do a founder-priced pilot

   Document five core processes for one small business at a reduced rate. Their before-and-after story, new hires productive in days instead of weeks, becomes your case study.

4. 4

   Package by project size

   A starter pack of five SOPs ($1,000 to $2,000), a department playbook ($2,500 to $5,000), and full onboarding systems quoted by scope. Fixed prices sell better than hourly documentation, which sounds endless.

5. 5

   Sell to businesses in hiring mode

   Owners about to hire, franchisors standardizing locations, and businesses preparing to sell (documented operations raise sale value) feel the pain now. Job postings are literally your lead list.

6. 6

   Add update retainers

   Processes change, and stale SOPs die in a drawer. Quarterly review and update retainers ($200 to $750 per month) keep documentation alive and your revenue recurring.
