text: This is a sticky situation for banks because they are never sure if the person that is presenting the check is the "owner".  As a business owner, you know that there are several type of business organizations.  If your company is a corporation then all of its shareholders could be entitled to that money.  \n\nIf I were you, I would bring the check back to the branch that issued it and ask them to cash it. This promises to be a huge hassle for you.
