Shouldered AI  /  For Christian business owners. Open to everyone.

A Christian run company, and proud of it.

Shouldered is Christian run and open to everyone. Our HQ takes the admin off your plate so you can serve your customers, your team and your family well. And for every business that joins, we give Shouldered to a church.

What keeps you up at night

"I want my business to reflect my faith."

Running on Shouldered helps a church in your community, and it keeps your promises to customers on time.

"I'm working Sundays just to catch up."

Invoices, follow ups and scheduling are Shouldered during the week, so your Sabbath can be a Sabbath.

"I want to do business with other Christians."

The marketplace where Christian businesses can find each other is coming.

"Will my customers who don't share my faith feel welcome?"

Yes. Shouldered is open to everyone, and your HQ serves every customer with the same care.

What your HQ does

Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for christian business.

Simon · HQ

Named for Simon of Cyrene, the AI you talk to at headquarters, who directs the seven desks and answers for all of them.

Matthew · Finance Desk

Sends invoices, chases late payers kindly and keeps the books ready for your accountant.

Tabitha · Service Desk

Answers every customer the same day with the care you would give yourself.

Lydia · Sales Desk

Follows up on every lead, and tracks your own giving so generosity is part of the plan.

Barnabas · People Desk

Keeps onboarding, schedules and payroll prep moving, so your team is looked after.

Silas · Marketing Desk

Asks every customer for an honest review and drafts your posts for you to approve.

Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.

A day with HQ running

Friday afternoon, the week's invoices are out, three late payers got a kind reminder, and Monday's jobs are booked. Your team got their schedules for next week. You close the laptop, and the work does not follow you into the weekend. On Sunday you sit with your family in church, knowing your business helped give that church an HQ too.

An illustration, not a promised result.

How the math works

Start

Start with a Hero for each person at $25 a seat, or a Small HQ at $750 a month for up to 5 seats. Invoices, follow ups and scheduling get handled first.

Grow

As you grow, move to Medium for up to 20 seats, or talk to us about a custom plan. The marketplace for Christian businesses is coming.

Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.

Your investment

Two prices, and 50 Founding places.

First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.

Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.

Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.

The six-month guarantee · HQ plans

If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.

The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.

The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
