How to Cash a Check Made Out to a Business
To cash a check made out to a business, you must take the check to a bank where your business holds a business checking account. Business checks can be cashed with either a standard endorsement, which requires the name of the business and signature of an authorized representative, or a restrictive endorsement, which also includes a specific account number into which the check must be deposited. With a restrictive endorsement, you must cash the check at the bank indicated by the restrictive endorsement.
