Why Craig does this

Craig has been in business for over 26 years, so he knows how hard it is out there. Business owners need a network of support, so they can get on with running their business instead of chasing a provider or waiting on a helpline.

How Craig works

Craig is an approved partner of Dojo, the UK’s number one SME payment provider*. He reviews what you pay now, recommends the right setup for your business, from a single café counter to a multi-site group, and handles the switch. Dojo integrates with over 450 EPOS systems, and Craig can also talk you through cashflow funding options.

“We want the payments to work for you, rather than you work for them.”
