AI Consultancy for UK Mid-Market Businesses
Independent AI consultants who assess where AI will pay back, set the strategy, and build the auditable systems that ship
A UK AI consultancy built for regulated, mid-market firms
Evolve AI is an AI consultancy for UK businesses that have to get AI right. We work with mid-market firms, typically £5M to £50M in revenue, in financial services, legal, healthcare, insurance, and professional services, where every AI output may need to be explained to a regulator, a client, or a court. That constraint shapes everything we do: our work is auditable by design, not as an afterthought.
Most AI investment is wasted on the wrong use case or a pilot that never reaches production. We avoid both by starting with a fixed-fee discovery, a Workflow Audit that tells you where AI will genuinely pay back before anyone spends a development budget. From there we set a prioritised strategy, build with evals and governance from day one, and hand over systems your own team can run.

Discovery-first
A fixed-fee Workflow Audit decides whether and what to build, so you never spend on the wrong use case.
Auditable by design
Every output logged with model, prompt, and human review, the evidence the FCA, ICO, and SRA expect.
No lock-in
We build on your infrastructure and hand over working systems, leaving your team more capable, not dependent.
Regulated-industry fluency
Consumer Duty, SM&CR, UK GDPR, and operational resilience designed in rather than discovered in an audit.

AI consultancy: common questions
What does an AI consultancy do?
An AI consultancy helps a business work out where AI will genuinely pay back, sets the strategy, and builds the systems that deliver it. At Evolve AI that means a fixed-fee discovery, a prioritised roadmap, hands-on implementation of auditable AI, and enablement so your own team can run what gets built.
How much does AI consultancy cost in the UK?
Discovery is fixed-fee, typically a few thousand pounds, so you know the cost and the likely return before committing. A first production AI implementation usually lands between £25,000 and £80,000 depending on complexity. We scope to the question rather than selling open-ended retainers.
Which businesses do you work with?
UK mid-market firms, typically £5M to £50M in revenue, in financial services, legal, healthcare, insurance, and professional services, where AI has to be auditable and explainable. The same discipline benefits firms outside regulated sectors too.
Do you work in person across the UK?
Yes. We work with clients across every major UK city, from London and Manchester to Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, and Leeds, combining on-site discovery with remote delivery.
