Carl Daniel
MCIM, CMktr, CDMP · Business Genie Payments
I'm a payments and hospitality technology adviser, and I run Business Genie Payments. I help UK businesses work out whether Teya card machines and payment services suit the way they trade, arrange bespoke quotations, review existing card payment statements and support them through the application.
My background is in marketing, which means I spend most of my time looking at how businesses actually serve their customers. A card machine is part of that experience, so the advice starts there rather than with a rate card.
Professional credentials

Our relationship with Teya
Business Genie Payments is an independent company and an authorised Teya partner. We introduce businesses to Teya, help arrange their quotation and support the application. Teya provides the card machines, payment processing and its own 24/7 customer support, and makes all approval decisions. This website belongs to Business Genie Payments; it is not Teya's official website.
How I advise businesses
- Start with how your business trades, not with a product to sell.
- Review the total cost of your current setup, not just the headline rate.
- Explain conditions plainly — settlement options, contracts and the bonus terms.
- Tell you when switching doesn't look worthwhile.
- Stay your point of contact through the application, alongside Teya's own 24/7 support.
