The story behind Doqit

“I felt as though I was drowning in paperwork. Bills, tax returns, pensions, and Chloe’s medical and educational reports. It wasn’t that any one thing was particularly difficult — it was the constant nature of it all. The sheer volume, and the feeling that something, somewhere, was always about to be missed.”

Doqit was born from Founder Catherine Ann’s experience as a working lone parent, managing her daughter Chloe’s rare genetic condition alongside work, home life, and everything that comes with running a household.

Like most people, she wasn’t disorganised. Everything was “somewhere” — emails, folders, drawers, notes, calendars. But nothing was connected. And when something was needed quickly, it was rarely where it should be.

Over time, that fragmentation becomes a problem. Deadlines get missed. Renewals roll over. Things cost more than they should. And the mental load of trying to hold it all together never really switches off.

After years of navigating this, including more than one late tax return, Catherine Ann became convinced there had to be a better way to manage it.

Doqit was built to bring everything into one place - not just to store documents, but to connect them to the things that matter: dates, deadlines, and the moments you actually need them.

Because life admin isn’t difficult. It’s just relentless.

Today, Doqit is helping people across the UK feel more in control of their day-to-day admin -with less stress, fewer last-minute scrambles, and more confidence that nothing important is being missed.

“Everyone I speak to has a moment where life admin has caught them out.

A late tax return. An insurance policy rolling over. A missed MOT.

It’s rarely one big thing. It’s the accumulation of small things that were easy to miss — until they weren’t.

I know that feeling well. And I was clear I didn’t want other people carrying that same level of overwhelm.

That’s why I built Doqit.

We speak to our customers every week, and what’s most encouraging is hearing how it’s already making a difference — helping people feel more in control, and reducing the mental load that so often sits in the background of everyday life.”
