Anthropic Launches Claude for Small Business with Pre-Built Workflows for QuickBooks, HubSpot, Canva
Anthropic announced Claude for Small Business on May 13, 2026 — a package of connectors and pre-built workflows that run Claude inside tools small businesses already use: Intuit QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. It ships as a toggle install inside Claude Cowork.
How It Works
Toggle on Claude for Small Business, connect your tools, and pick a job. Claude performs the work but requires approval before anything sends, posts, or pays. The package includes 15 ready-to-run agentic workflows and 15 skills built on repeatable tasks small business owners identified as their biggest time sinks.
Pre-Built Workflows
- Planning payroll with confidence: Settle QuickBooks cash position against incoming PayPal settlements, build a 30-day forecast, rank overdue items, and queue reminders for approval.
- Closing the month with fewer errors: Reconcile books against settlements, flag discrepancies, write a plain-English P&L, and export a close packet for the accountant via QuickBooks.
- Getting a pulse on your business: Surface key insights on one page: cash position (QuickBooks), sales trend, pipeline movement, and this week's commitments.
- Running your next campaign: Find slow revenue periods, analyze HubSpot campaign performance, draft a promo strategy, and generate assets in Canva.
- Additional workflows: invoice chaser, margin analyzer, month-end prepper, tax-season organizer, contract reviewer, lead triager, content strategist, and more.
Connector Details
- PayPal: settlements, invoicing, disputes, refunds.
- Intuit QuickBooks: payroll planning, monthly close, cash-flow, tax prep, reconciliation across systems.
- HubSpot: lead triage, customer pulse, campaign attribution.
- Canva: content generation, collaboration, publishing, performance tracking.
- Docusign: send contracts, track status, file executed copies.
- Google Workspace & Microsoft 365: integrated via Claude Cowork.
