Very good but can you tell me how on earth smaller companies
are supposed to afford to pay the fees..........
You make your choice as to how you want to play in a competitive market.
Go for AAAC, trade on the reputation that that brings and put your
prices up to cover the costs of the scheme. Or don't, and stay cheap.
Both approaches have their pros and cons. You decide which one you're
going to go for. If your assessment is that AAAC status would not
increase your income sufficiently to cover the cost, then obviously
don't do it.
