Allan Williams was the band's manager when they began using The Beatles name in 1960. They secured a booking without him later, and allowed departing member Stuart Sutcliffe to break the news to Williams. Williams had opened a club in Liverpool, that burned to the ground not long after; any contract he had with The Beatles was lost in that fire, and he let them go. He later wrote a memoir, titled The Man Who Gave the Beatles Away.

Brian Epstein signed the Beatles up in 1962, but contacted Williams to see if he still had any contractual ties to them. He didn't, but advised Epstein "Don't touch them with a barge pole. They will let you down." Epstein took them on, tidied their image, and helped them become famous. Epstein managed the Beatles until his death in 1967, during the same weekend they visited the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Wales.

The Beatles went without a manager for a couple years, until their company Apple Corps got into trouble. Allen Klein offered to help, and he became business manager to Lennon, Harrison and Starr. McCartney wanted his father-in-law Lee Eastman to take over, but the others rejected him. Klein and Eastman did NOT get along; their clashes were one of the factors that broke the Beatles up.

Eastman did all right by McCartney; Klein had his limitations (and made his mistakes) with the other three, and they split with him later. Former road manager Neil Aspinall took over running Apple Corps after the Beatles' partnership was dissolved in 1975; they decided to keep Apple, and it became the licensing agent for Beatles merchandise, new music releases, and related products.

Aspinall ran the Beatles affairs for far longer than any of the other managers. He stepped down shortly before his death in 2008. Apple still exists, and is now supervised by Jeff Jones.
