AI Business Hub UK
B2B AI services directory and marketing site
The Problem
Businesses need AI services but don't know who to trust. The market is flooded with providers of varying quality.
Business owners looking for AI solutions, procurement teams evaluating vendors, startups needing AI development.
Google searches, LinkedIn cold outreach, asking peers, or getting approached by pushy salespeople.
Choosing wrong providers costs £10,000s. Wasted time evaluating options. Projects fail due to poor fits.
The Solution
Curated directory of UK AI service providers with categories, reviews, and lead matching.
Verified providers, UK-focused, categorized by service type. Not just a list — a matchmaker.

Why I Built This
The mission is about protecting family-owned businesses.

We identify the 20% of sectors that handle 80% of transactions, find their top family-owned firms, and help them stay independent.
