The EU AI Act Readiness Workshop
Get ready before 2nd August 2026.
Make sure your business is compliant with the EU AI Act. We cover everything you need to know about the Act and how it could affect your business below.
Will Your Business Be Affected by the EU AI Act?
Most UK SME leaders assume Brexit puts their business outside the EU AI Act but they are wrong. It's not about whether your business is based in the EU, it's about whether anyone in the EU could interact with your tools, communications or automations at any point. In short, the act applies because your AI systems produce outputs that reach the EU.
The Five-Stage Compliance Pathway
Structured pathway. Defensible outcome.
The workshop walks your business through the same structured pathway we use with every UK SME preparing for the EU AI Act. Each stage produces specific deliverables. Each stage feeds into the next.
01
Inventory
Comprehensive discovery of every AI system in use, including embedded capabilities and shadow AI activity leadership cannot see.
02
Classification
Every identified system classified against the four EU AI Act risk tiers: unacceptable, high, limited and minimal.
03
Gap Analysis
Structured mapping of substantive obligations that apply to higher-risk systems, against the current state of your business.
04
Remediation
Prioritised action list weighting each gap by risk exposure, closure difficulty and strategic value to your business.
05
Evidence Pack
Consolidated compliance evidence in a defensible format your business can produce on demand for regulators and customers.
The Classification That Determines Everything
The four EU AI Act risk tiers determine almost everything about your compliance burden. Understanding which tier your AI systems fall into is the single, highest-leverage compliance decision your business will make before 2nd August, 2026.
Most SMEs will find the majority of their AI use in the minimal risk tier, a meaningful subset in the limited risk tier and a smaller but commercially significant subset in the higher tiers. Accurate classification lets you focus compliance investment where it actually matters.
Unacceptable Risk
Up to 7% turnover
Prohibited outright since 2nd February, 2025. Includes workplace emotion recognition, social scoring, untargeted facial scraping.
High Risk
Up to 3% turnover
Substantial documentation and governance. Recruitment AI, credit scoring, insurance pricing, employee monitoring.
Limited Risk
Up to 3% turnover
Transparency obligations. Customer service chatbots, AI-generated marketing content, AI helpdesks.
Minimal Risk
No penalty
No specific obligations. Spam filters, inventory management, predictive maintenance, most operational AI.

EU AI Act Readiness Workshop
The workshop runs across half a day, with a facilitated discovery day at the start and evidence pack delivery at the end. Specific duration depends on scale of AI use and complexity of classification work.
Two Prices, One Comparison Worth Making.
The AI EU Act Readiness Workshop will identify where your business isn't compliant and the solutions to ensure you become compliant as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
The fine for falling foul of the AI EU Act is up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. The workshop is the structured investment that protects against the compliance exposure the market is now demanding UK SMEs address.

Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about AI Expert, our services and your Artificial Intelligence opportunities.
Not at all. We translate AI into plain business terms focused on commercial value.
No. We’re independent advisors. We only recommend tools that fit your business - sometimes, the right answer is to wait.
Often weeks, not months. Even small AI changes can free up time and reduce costs quickly.
Yes. It’s completely free and there’s no obligation afterward. We built it to help businesses see if AI is worth exploring before spending money unnecessarily.
Not at all. We speak business, not tech jargon. Everything we do is explained in plain language focused on commercial results.
If your results show you’re a good fit for AI, we may reach out to see if you’d like to explore next steps — but only if it makes commercial sense for you. No pushy sales calls.
No. Many of the biggest gains come from automating small, repeatable tasks in small and mid-sized businesses. You don’t need to be a giant enterprise to benefit from AI.
