Executive Summary

SMBs (about 12M globally) are stuck with fragmented, overlapping marketing stacks that drive up subscription costs and require developer time most small teams don’t have; they also face growing regulatory pressure (GDPR) that makes third-party data-sharing a liability. The pain is operational complexity, unpredictable spend, and lack of affordable, auditable automation that non‑technical staff can maintain. You could build a no-code platform selling curated, verticalized workflow bundles—prebuilt integrations, templates and a setup+onboarding service—that replaces multiple point solutions with a single predictable subscription and an EU-hosted option for privacy-sensitive customers. The product would emphasize low-touch maintenance, auditable dataflows, and light managed services so SMBs get immediate ROI without hiring engineers. This is addressable: we estimate an $18.0B market (12M SMBs × $1,500 ACV) and the timing is favorable as no-code tools mature and SMBs actively consolidate SaaS spend; market score 90/100 and revenue potential 84/100 reflect strong demand. Competition is high, so success will hinge on rapid customer acquisition and tight unit economics. The clearest path to differentiation is narrow vertical focus, prebuilt packagings that map to common SMB workflows, predictable low pricing, and demonstrable EU privacy controls—while being honest about challenges: wide integration coverage is expensive to maintain and convincing customers to migrate from incumbents will require strong onboarding and measurable TCO reductions.
