Do my corporation's checks need to include my name?
No, if your company is a corporation, your name does not have to appear on the checks, other than when it appears in the form of your signature, if you sign checks on the account. Many owners of small corporations like to have their names appear on their checks if they deal with customers on a personal service. For example, a landscape design company's customers often believe they are dealing with an individual rather than a corporation, and printing an owner's name on the company's check may help preserve that sense of personal service.
