About us

Our Story

Built to bring enterprise-grade voice automation to every UK business.

In 2021, Isaac was helping UK SMEs and saw great teams lose customers because they couldn’t reach the phone in time.
At the same time, Aqib was building automation and AI for Fortune-level companies—powerful but out of reach for small businesses.
They joined forces so every business could access the same speed and reliability without the enterprise price tag.
Alveus Co exists to make responsive, natural AI tools available to everyone, so no call or enquiry is missed again.

Today

We keep the same mission: enterprise capability for small businesses at a price that makes sense. Straightforward, accessible, and genuinely useful—one answered call at a time.

Alveus Co backs the UK’s startups and SMEs, supporting founders, freelancers, and teams creating jobs in every community. We’re always here for a chat if you need support.

Turn missed calls into booked revenue.

Instant setup. Real results. Leads captured every time.
