Alfred entered the family business Samuel Allsopp & Sons, as a junior partner from 1883 to 1887.[9] He later became chairman of the company, and oversaw its conversion into a Limited Company, and retired from the business in 1900[2] and then sold all his shares in the company. He was also a director of the New Grand Hotel in Birmingham, of the Yolandi Mining Corporation Limited, and of Allsopp and Partners.[9]
He was made bankrupt in June 1914, after losses at Allsopp and Partners forced him to resort to moneylenders, and discharged from bankruptcy in 1920.[9]
