AMA Business Communications Limited

What AMA Business Communications Limited does

AMA Business Communications Limited (trading as AMA Comms, with a Salon Comms sub-brand) is a UK private limited company headquartered at 27 Old Gloucester Street, London. According to company history, it was founded in the early 1980s as a small telecoms provider and later expanded into marketing services, now led by three directors — Adam (Sales & Marketing), Andrew (Finance & Operations), and Mario (Technical) — with combined 40+ years of sector experience. The company delivers hosted VoIP telephone systems built on Yealink handsets, business-grade broadband (FTTC, FTTP, leased lines, and 4G/5G backup under the AMA Assure brand), professional audio marketing, and a bundle of unified communications and productivity tools (AMA Connect, AMA TaskFlow, AMA CloudDrive, AMA TimePro, AMA Meet).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions for VoIP lines, broadband, and audio marketing services, supplemented by hardware sales (Yealink and TP Link handsets) and one-off consulting and migration work. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, using Calendly-booked discovery calls, a free client experience health check as a lead magnet, blog content, and webinars. The company maintains an exclusive preferred communications partnership with SightCare for independent opticians and operates a sub-brand, Salon Comms, for the hair, beauty, and wellness sector.

The primary customer base is UK SMBs in appointment-based verticals — opticians, dental practices, doctors' surgeries, veterinary practices, hair and beauty salons — with stated nationwide reach and 7-day UK-based support. Strategic positioning is anchored to the UK PSTN Switch-Off deadline of January 2027, framed as the "Big Switch-Off," which AMA uses as the core urgency driver for VoIP migration. Note that firmographic records indicate 5 employees while company marketing claims 100+ professionals; this material discrepancy significantly affects scale interpretation.
