What it is

A loan that breathes with your business.

Dojo Funding (often called Dojo Advance) is a merchant cash advance, delivered through Dojo's funding partner. It's tailored for businesses that take card payments — and instead of fixed monthly instalments, you repay as you earn.

Think of it as flexible working capital that matches the rhythm of your tills, not the calendar.

Why business owners pick it

The benefits, in plain English.

Repay as you earn

Repayments are a fixed percentage of your daily card takings — a little more on busy days, a little less on quiet ones. Zero card sales that day? Zero repayment.

One fixed, transparent cost

No APR, no interest creep, no hidden charges. Agree the sweep percentage and the total cost up front — and that's the only number you'll ever pay.

Apply in minutes

A short online form, your Merchant ID and a couple of business details. No mountains of paperwork, no branch appointments.

Funds in as little as one day

Successful applications can be funded the same day, with the typical window being around three working days.

Use it however you need

Stock, refurb, hiring, marketing, equipment, a quiet month's cash flow — no restrictions on how you spend the funds.

Soft credit check only

Eligibility uses your trading data, not a hard credit search. Checking what you qualify for won't affect your credit score.

How it works

From application to funds in four short steps.

01

Apply online

Share your Merchant ID, monthly card turnover and how much funding you'd like. Takes a few minutes.

02

Get a tailored offer

We'll come back with an advance amount, your sweep percentage and one fixed total cost. No hidden extras.

03

Funds in your account

Approved applications can land the same day — typically within three working days.

04

Repay as you trade

Each day, the agreed sweep percentage of your card takings goes towards your balance. Quiet day? You pay less.

Eligibility

Is funding right for your business?

The good news: most established Dojo merchants qualify. We'll do a quick check based on your card turnover and trading history — and tell you straight if it fits.

You'll typically need

  • To be a Dojo merchant taking card payments regularly
  • Around 6 months of trading history (switchers can supply prior card statements)
  • A consistent monthly card turnover
  • A UK business bank account

Heads-up: if most of your sales come through in cash rather than cards, a merchant cash advance probably isn't the right fit — we'll happily say so and point you to alternatives.

See what you could qualify for.

A few quick questions, a soft credit check, and a clear offer with one fixed cost. Zero obligation — and zero impact on your credit score.
