SMEs Can't Afford to Hire

But They're Drowning in Work

Traditional Hiring

Min. £25,000/year = 1 person

100% engaged 40 hours a week?

AI Teammates

£1,188/year = 21 specialised team members

100% engaged 24/7!

5.5M UK businesses can't afford staff.

We just gave them a team.

We're Not Competing with AI Tools

(There are enough of them out there!)

We're Replacing Roles Businesses Can't Afford

This isn't just another Ai solution. It's not just about technology adoption. It's about solving the SME staffing crisis with a fundamentally different approach.

When a business owner thinks "I need to hire a receptionist," we don't say…

"Here's an API. Hire engineers to configure it."

We say "Here's Missy. She starts Monday. £99 per month."

Traditional Staffing

  • £22-28K per year per role
  • 3-6 months training
  • Scaling means hiring more people
  • Reed, Indeed, agencies

Enterprise AI Tools

  • £500K+ implementations
  • Requires technical team
  • Prompt engineering needed
  • Built for £10M+ revenue companies

AI Teammates (4142)

  • £79-799 per month
  • Train through conversation

You Don't Configure Them. You Hire Them

"I Didn't Implement AI. I Hired Missy."

— Garry Sephton, Sutton Roofing

Garry needed a receptionist but couldn't justify £25,000 per year. He hired Missy for £99/month instead. He would never have set up an Ai software tool.

Then he became a shareholder.
