Hamnett Enterprises runs its administration with software agents instead of a back office: bookkeeping preparation, tax deadline tracking, correspondence drafts, monthly closes, and research all run through scripted workflows that a single founder supervises. The posts under this tag record what that looks like in daily operation. They name the tools, show the workflows, state what each one replaced and what it costs per month, and describe the failures, because an automation that quietly produces a wrong number is worse than a person who asks. They also cover the boundary: which decisions stay with a human, how outputs are checked, and what a small firm should automate first. Everything is measured on our own operation rather than on vendor claims. Read this tag if you run a company with a thin administrative layer and want to know what can be handed to software today, what cannot, and how to tell the difference.

Germany hands over roughly 109,000 companies a year and closes 114,000 more for want of a successor. We read sixteen trades through two filters, revenue bound to the company by contract and owner earnings of EUR 100,000 to 1 million, and show where a shared AI-run office adds EUR 40,000 to 120,000 a year before any revenue moves.

A modular grow-box came through our pipeline. We ran the full feasibility and the answer sat in one number per crop: the electricity price above which indoor growing loses money. Lettuce breaks even at €0.053/kWh, basil at €1.19, and German industry pays €0.172. Fourteen indoor farms went bankrupt in 2025.

We automated almost every administrative task in a small German holding and hit a wall at the tax return. The blocker is a licence clause rather than a missing feature. Here is the tool matrix, the two walls behind it, the one German tool nobody names, and the deadline that settles the question.
