So you've started your own business, and you're as proud as can be! You've got your business cards, complete with the custom logo that you had created especially for your new endeavor. You've ordered the stationary, complete with your return address on the upper left hand corner of the envelope. The gold nameplate for your office door will be in any day now, and so will the matching one for your desk. Your new desk phone is already programmed with every phone number you could possibly need. You're all set to go- or are you? You are, as long as you've ordered your business checks.
Your own, personalized business checks are the proverbial "cherry on top" of the "own business sundae". You've built the major part of your company already, so that's the ice cream. All of the fun doo-dads like the phone and business cards are the toppings and whipped cream. The pride reflecting from within you when you sign your first business check, complete with your name, your company name, your company address and phone number, and of course, your logo in the upper left hand corner.
Think about it this way- from payroll to pencils, the electric bill to the envelopes to mail it in, your business checks can be used to pay any bill that comes up in your company. When you head out to your local office supply store, writing out one of your business checks instead of paying with cash, credit or debit card is essentially handing your business card to everyone who handles your check. The friendly cashier who might be in need your services one day; the store manager as they tally up the deposit for the bank; and everyone at the bank that saw your check come through.
When you have business checks, you're basically telling the whole world that you mean business! You're not one of those fly-by-night operations that could close up shop at a moments notice because you went to all of the trouble (or lack thereof) to have your checks printed.
You can order your business checks at the financial institution where your account is held, or you can utilize the services of a private company that offers a large assortment of styles and designs to make your checks as unique as your company. Since financial institutions don't print checks in their backroom, many of these companies can offer extra services, like 24-hour rush delivery, that the banks just can't compete with.
