While Fortune 500 companies pour millions into AI infrastructure and talent, small businesses risk falling behind in the digital transformation race. Golden Grimes Consulting ensures AI isn't just for the big players — it's for every entrepreneur ready to grow.

- Limited budgets for technology investments
- Lack of technical expertise on staff
- Uncertainty about which AI tools actually deliver ROI
- Fear of complex implementation processes
