Built for London-specific needs
London-specific factors that generic AI vendors miss.
GDPR + UK Data Protection Act native
Both regimes apply post-Brexit. We design for both, sign DPAs, document sub-processors, and don't train models on your data without explicit written consent.
FCA-aware for fintech
For financial services clients, we design with FCA SYSC and operational resilience in mind. Audit trails, third-party risk, change management — built in.
EU + UK hosting options
Deploy on AWS / GCP / Azure UK regions, EU regions, or your own infrastructure. We don't default to US regions and ask later.
GBP invoicing
Quotes in GBP, paid by bank transfer, Wise or Stripe. VAT correctly applied per HMRC rules — reverse-charge for EU B2B clients with valid VAT numbers.
Time-zone friendly
Friday demos in your London hours. Most communication async-first to suit your day.

London FAQ
Are you based in London?+
No — AI Makers operates from Curaçao and the Netherlands. Most London clients prefer this: direct access to the developer, no agency overhead, faster decisions. Site visits to London scheduled per project. Several London clients have never met us in person and don't feel they need to.
Can you invoice in GBP?+
Yes. GBP, EUR or USD. Bank transfer, Wise or Stripe. VAT handled correctly per HMRC place-of-supply rules.
How does FCA / SYSC compliance work for fintech clients?+
We design with FCA SYSC and operational-resilience requirements in mind from day one. Audit trails, third-party risk assessments, change management. Many of our fintech clients submit our architecture spec to FCA as part of their notification.
Can you handle EU AI Act requirements?+
Yes. We classify your use case during scope and design accordingly. Most business uses are limited-risk; some are high-risk and need specific controls. We tell you up-front.
What's a typical London project size?+
£4K–£17K for a chatbot, £8K–£42K for automation, £25K–£128K for a custom platform. Free 30-minute discovery call gets you a real number against your specific scope.
