Affiliate Disclosure

    Last updated: 20 October 2026

    The Short Version

    Some links on AI Business Guide are affiliate links. This means if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and continue providing free, unbiased recommendations.

    How Affiliate Links Work

    AI Business Guide is a free resource that helps small and medium businesses discover AI tools. To keep our content free, we participate in affiliate programmes with AI tool providers.

    When you click a link to an AI tool on our site and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a paid plan, we may receive a commission from that provider. This commission comes from the tool provider's marketing budget — it doesn't increase the price you pay.

    Not all links on our site are affiliate links. We also feature tools without affiliate arrangements when they're genuinely useful for small businesses.

    Our Commitment to You

    Honest Recommendations

    We only recommend tools we genuinely believe are useful for small businesses. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions or ratings.

    No Extra Cost

    You never pay more by using our links. In many cases, we negotiate exclusive discounts that actually save you money.

    Clear Labelling

    We clearly indicate when content includes affiliate links, either on the page or through disclosure notices.

    Independent Reviews

    Our reviews are based on genuine testing and research. We highlight both pros and cons, regardless of affiliate status.

    Why We Use Affiliate Links

    Running a helpful, up-to-date resource takes time and effort. Affiliate commissions help us:

    • Keep all our content free to read
    • Test and review new AI tools regularly
    • Maintain accurate pricing and feature information
    • Avoid intrusive advertising
    • Keep the site running and secure

    Compliance

    This disclosure complies with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines on affiliate marketing. We are committed to transparency and following best practices in affiliate disclosure.
