9. Who is Fees Company?

We developed the first Alliance & Leicester golf plan way back in 1996, reversed it into Fees Company in 2000, and simply made it better. Golf Fees Plan is available throughout the UK as the #1 plan of choice.

10. Cash flow. The next big investment

We've turned direct debit on its head. The rules have changed. It is no longer the preserve of a 1990s product taken up by members prepared to pay high borrowing costs.

Today, for a golf club, direct debit is not a cost - it's an investment. Isn't it time to discard cheques in favour of direct debit?

Now that's cash flow management for the modern business, or golf club.
