About SG-AI
We built this for businesses that are tired of being sold hype
AI consulting has a reputation problem. Too many firms sell strategy decks, generic software, and enterprise frameworks to businesses that just need something that works. We do the opposite.
Our story
Proudly based in Leeds. Proudly straight-talking.
SG-AI Consulting is proudly based in Leeds — and we bring a very Yorkshire attitude to AI: straight-talking, fair-priced, and allergic to hype.
We started this business because we saw the SME market being left behind. AI consulting has become dominated by overpriced quotes, enterprise frameworks, and jargon that leaves small business owners either priced out or sold something they didn't need. We're here to do the opposite: simplify AI, price it fairly, and deliver tools that actually work.
Our experience spans online education, hospitality, construction, facilities management, and design — so we're used to understanding how different businesses actually operate before recommending anything. We've worked in high-pressure, client-facing environments and on the technology side in implementation and customer success — which means we don't just understand AI, we understand how to put it to work inside a real business and support the people who use it every day.
Our mission
Practical AI for the businesses that keep the economy running
Small and medium businesses are where most people work, most value is created, and most inefficiency goes unaddressed. Enterprise companies have entire teams dedicated to process improvement and technology. SMEs don't. We exist to close that gap — bringing the same quality of AI tooling and systems thinking to businesses that have never had access to it before.
Honesty over hype
We tell you what AI can actually do for your business — not what sounds impressive in a pitch. If something won't deliver a return, we say so.
Delivery over documentation
Our measure of success is whether your business runs better, not whether we produced a thorough report. We build things that work.
Partnership over projects
The best results come from understanding a business deeply over time. We work best as a long-term partner, not a one-off vendor.
Our approach
Why we work differently
We start with the audit
Every engagement starts with understanding your business before recommending anything. We've seen too many businesses buy solutions to problems they don't actually have.
We build for your context
Generic software forces your business to adapt to it. We build tools that fit the way you already work — then make that way of working faster and smarter.
We stay involved
Delivery isn't the end. We offer ongoing retainer support because AI tools need to evolve as your business does. We're not interested in handing over something and walking away.
Want to see if we're the right fit?
An in-person audit is the best way to find out — we'll visit your business and tell you exactly what we'd do.
