Can a check cashing company cash a check payable to a business?
On One Hand: Not GenerallyIn most cases, a check cashing operation will only cash checks you can prove are written to you. Since you’re not likely to have a driver’s license or other identification that proves you’re a signer on a business account, few check cashing businesses will cash a check written to a business.On the Other: There Are Work AroundsIf you are a legitimate signer on the business account, you can always deposit the check into your business account, then write a check out to yourself from the business account. Check cashing businesses would have no problem cashing a check with your name as the payee. Also, some check places make a business practice of cashing checks without checking identification. You’d be pushing your luck to try a business check, but some might cash it.Bottom LineIt’s not likely that a check cashing business will cash a business check.
