I still take a fair amount of cheques. They cost me £1.50 each to pay in as well :/ The bigger jobs we do for management companies and the like aren't too bad as the jobs are priced high anyway.
I've tried getting some cutsies on GoCardless, but found that existing ones don't want it.
I think I will get a card machine and refuse cheques or say the £1.50 charge has to be paid also.
