Our take

Dojo has been around for over ten years, after starting in 2009. In that time they have very much established themselves as a go-to partner for small businesses using card payments, allowing them to take control over the end-to-end payments process.

Its customer first strategy has made it a market leader, meaning it is handling more than £20bn in transactions each year. Since launching Dojo has grown to team of more than 950 and has even opened offices throughout the UK. On top of that, the company has become profitable, and is now looking to grow the team further and expand internationally, including in Ireland, Spain, France, and Italy.

The payments platform sector has become increasingly competitive as more and more entries to the market are trying to find niche spaces to play in. However, Dojo has not only established a foothold but has managed to grow its small business clientele over the years. It has set itself apart with its customer-first approach, building its product specifically to address the needs of customers and continuing to keep customers at the centre of every decision.
