You do not have to learn AI. You have to be told what to do with it.
You have been told for years that AI changes everything. Nobody has told you what to do with it on a Monday morning. Learning every tool that comes out was never your job. It is a whole new career, and you already have one.
So we do it for you. One review, priced on your business, from £750. We look at how the work actually runs and name the jobs that can be handed over. Then you get it in writing: what to do first, what to do second, and what to leave alone. The recommendation is yours to keep, whatever you decide to do next.
You are not behind because you are slow. You are behind because nobody has told you what to do.
Every one of these is something a business owner has said out loud. None of them is a failing. It is what happens when an industry sells a hundred tools to people nobody has told what they are for. Three people or three hundred, the week looks the same from the inside.
The six worries, and what is actually true about each
The paperwork that waits until nine at night
The quote you meant to send between jobs. The invoice still sitting there. The customer who rang on Saturday and had booked somebody else by Monday. It is the same week whether you have three people or three hundred.
So here is the offer, and it is the opposite of a course. You get told which jobs in your business can run themselves, what each one costs a month, and what to ignore completely. What the review costs is further down this page, and the first conversation costs nothing.
“Are you going to replace my staff?”
No. We are here to get more out of the business you already have. It is the first thing most owners ask, often before we have finished a sentence. Ask it out loud. It is the right question and it deserves a straight answer.
Think about an ordinary week in your office. The same job gets typed into a second system. A quote goes out and nobody follows it up. Somebody promises to ring a customer back and the day gets away from them. An email lands at ten at night and is read at nine the next morning, by which time that customer has rung somebody else.
And somewhere in that week is the job you never even knew you lost. Not work your people did badly. Work that nobody had a spare hour to get to.
That is what this actually takes on, and it is a great deal more than typing. A review tells you which of it is worth doing in your business, and in what order.
The work that has to happen every single time. Every enquiry answered, every quote followed up, every customer asked for a review, every unpaid invoice chased. Not most of them on a good week. All of them, every week.
The work that happens when nobody is in. Calls, messages and emails answered at eight at night and on a Sunday, with the details written down and waiting for your team on Monday morning.
The work that is locked in somebody's head. Years of jobs, quotes, notes and calls that nobody has time to read, turned into a straight answer in a sentence.
The work that stops when one person is away. The job carries on instead of waiting until Thursday for the only person who knows how it runs.
The work nobody can quite explain. Where a job really slows down, and what that costs you, written down in numbers you can act on.
So the gain is not a smaller payroll and it is not a stopwatch. It is more work going out of the same door, done to a better standard, with the people you already have.
The numbers behind that are not ours. The Office for National Statistics published Artificial intelligence in UK businesses on 20 July 2026. Across every size of business, around half reported that AI had made no difference to headcount at all.
Among firms using it to improve how they operate, 63% reported no change in the number of people they employ.
Around one in ten businesses did report automating or replacing roles. That is a decision an owner makes, and it is not something the software does on its own. We work the other way, and we say so before you pay us anything.
Your team will ask what this means for them. We will help you answer it, in plain words, before anything goes live.

A review is a conversation, some arithmetic and a document you keep. There is no software to log into and nothing to sit through.
We watch how the work really runs
A conversation about one ordinary week. Where the time goes, what gets typed twice, what gets dropped when you are on a job, and which part of Friday you dread. Nothing technical is asked of you.
We work out what would actually pay for itself
Hours saved against pounds a month to run it, in real money. Plenty of jobs fail that test, and the ones that pass are the whole answer. Finding them is the job.
You get it in writing and you own it
Plain words, named tools, real prices, in the order to do them. Yours to act on, to sit on, or to hand to somebody else entirely. There is no version of this where you are left holding a login and a guess.
Tell us what takes you the longest
The quoting, the chasing, the phone going while you are already with somebody. Whichever of those eats the most of your week is the one we want to hear about. Twenty minutes is usually enough for us to say what a review would cover in your business.
Every review follows those same three steps. What it costs is set out below. The looking is done by somebody who has spent four years putting AI into real businesses, and it is not handed to anybody else.
We are in Suffolk and north Essex, and we work with businesses anywhere in the UK. Most of a review happens on a video call, so where you are makes no difference to what it costs or how long it takes.
Who is this for?
Small businesses, medium ones and large ones alike. The size of the business is not what decides it. What decides it is whether there is work in your week that comes round every time, in a system, with information behind it.
- More than one person touches the same job. The details get passed along, and something gets lost on the way.
- The same information gets typed in twice. Once into one system and once into another, by somebody who could be doing better work.
- There are years of records and nobody has time to read them. Quotes, jobs, calls and invoices, and nothing reads them back to you.
- A report gets built by hand every month. Somebody exports it, pastes it and tidies it, and the month has moved on by the time it is ready.
- One person knows how a job really runs. When they are away, the week gets harder for everybody else.
If none of that sounds like your week, there is a better first step. An AI receptionist answers the calls you cannot get to. A properly filled in Google and Bing listing brings more of them in, and a website that gets found does the rest.
See the AI receptionist →What does it cost to be told where to start?
One review, quoted on the business in front of us. Not a package, and not the same piece of work sold at three sizes.
It starts at £750, and the figure follows how much there is to look at. One process in a business of three people and eleven in a business of two hundred are different pieces of work. So you get your own number rather than an average.
You get that figure and the date in writing before you pay anything, and neither of them moves afterwards.
Go ahead with the build afterwards and £250 of the review comes off the price. That is £250 of the fee rather than all of it. It comes off a build we do for you, rather than off a monthly plan.
You pick where we start: the phone, the enquiries, the quotes, the scheduling or the invoicing. From there we follow the work wherever it goes.
- It opens with a phone call, and that call costs you nothing
- Then time at your business, with you and with whoever else does the work
- We map how the work runs today, step by step, as it actually happens
- We name the jobs that can be handed over, and the ones that should stay with a person
- We follow the joins, where one job hands work to the next and the time really goes
- Where your information lives now, who can reach it, and what that means for AI
- Named tools, with what each one really costs a month to run
- What it would save, in hours and in money, with the working shown
- A written recommendation in plain words: what to do first, second and third
- It is yours to keep, and nothing has to be bought afterwards
And every other price we charge is published too. They are all on the prices page, set out the same way.
What else is worth reading?
Every page here answers one question properly rather than skimming five. These are the others, and each one says what it is before you click it.
Foothold AI: websites and AI for local service businesses
A website that gets found, a back office that runs the day, and an app for your team. From £295 to set up and £99 a month. Suffolk based, UK wide.
Where we work: Suffolk and north Essex
Twenty towns across Suffolk and north Essex, from Sudbury. Most are twenty or thirty minutes away, and the person who builds your site comes out.
AI implementation for UK businesses
We build AI into how UK businesses actually work: quoting, chasing, scheduling and reading documents. Scoped first, fixed-quoted before any build.
Websites for electricians that bring in work
A website for an electrician, the back office it feeds and the app your engineers use on site. Published prices, no lock-in, and you own it all.
Tell us the part of the week you dread.
That sentence is usually enough for us to say what a review would cover in your business. No card, no pitch, and nothing to read beforehand.
From £750, priced on your business. Go ahead with the build afterwards and £250 of the review comes off the price. Building what comes out of it is quoted on its own. The recommendation is yours to keep either way.
