It was just the beginning, and the start of work to make Autodesk more accessible for the small businesses doing an increasingly large share of Design and Make work. <span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6a21d89657160\">&nbsp;<\/span>Today, Autodesk is taking another step to address flexibility and affordability. Starting June 4, customers globally can purchase Autodesk Flex with a new lower minimum of 33 tokens for $99, down from 100 tokens for $300 \u2013 a two-thirds reduction in cost to get started. <\/p>\n<h3>Making Flex more flexible and affordable to start<\/h3>\n<p>Small businesses don\u2019t operate the way large ones do. Work can be cyclical, revenue fluctuates from project to project, and the amount of software a team needs can vary significantly from one month to the next. A $300 minimum, while reasonable for larger teams, is a meaningful upfront commitment for a solo designer or a small firm trying to understand whether Flex fits their workflow. <span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6a21d89657163\">&nbsp;<\/span>The reduced minimum brings that starting point down without changing what makes Flex valuable: customers can still access more than 100 Autodesk products, including AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion, Inventor, Fusion Manage, Maya, and 3ds Max. <\/p>\n<h3>Why this matters<\/h3>\n<p>Autodesk\u2019s <em>State of Small Business<\/em> report found that more than 4 in 5 small business owners in Design and Make say they struggle to balance running the business with doing the actual work \u2013 compared to nearly 70% across all industries. The findings underscore the reality that many small businesses don\u2019t have excess time, budget, or capacity, and are faced with having to strike the right balance between investing in the tools they need while managing risk and cash flow. <span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6a21d89657164\">&nbsp;<\/span>Lowering the Flex minimum is one of the ways Autodesk can meet those customers where they are, and through a more flexible price point, better aligned to their business demands. Technology shouldn&#8217;t get in the way of the work; it should help make the work possible, and at a price that reflects the realities of running a small business. <\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s next<\/h3>\n<p>This is a step in a broader effort to evolve how Autodesk works with small businesses. The new Flex minimum won\u2019t solve every challenge small businesses face, but removing friction at the point of entry is an important step. Autodesk will explore and evaluate this and other approaches this year and may make adjustments over time\u2014from more flexible and affordable ways to access our technology to continued product and experience enhancements. <span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6a21d89657168\">&nbsp;<\/span>Visit the Small Business Hub to explore tools, compare options, get started, and share feedback to help shape
