Order Business Checks
|
|
Before placing an order for business checks, consider the last time you ordered through the bank. Did it seem expensive? Did it cost more to have your logo placed on the check? Were you offered a choice of color, background and style? Printing methods have become less expensive. Has the cost of checks ever gone down as a result?

Maybe it's time to consider a different way to approach this. With the Web,
saving money even on things that once seemed so routine, can take only minutes.
All you need to save money and time by ordering business checks online with
confidence is some basic knowledge.
Before doing a cost comparison, the first thing to determine is the type of
checks you need. There are several options, and each one is associated with
different types of accounting software. Here are some examples of the most-used
software programs and their check style requirements:
- Intuit, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Quicken are all set up for the most common
style of check, called a voucher check, where the check itself is printed at the
top of the page and under it are two identical stubs, one for the payer and the
other for the payee.
- Accounting by Mac, One Write Plus, Peachtree, ProLaw, and Microsoft Profit
require a style with the check printed in the middle of the page and stubs above
and below.
- DacEasy Accounting-Payroll and Mas 90 for Windows Accounts Payable use
bottom-printed checks, with two stubs printed above the check.
- For businesses that hand write checks, a popular and economic option is three
checks printed on each page with no stubs. This check style can also be used
with QuickBooks.
After determining what style best meets your business needs, you'll need to
establish a baseline for cost and delivery comparison. The last check order may
offer all the information needed; most come printed with advertising pages
inside. Options are usually limited, but this will provide a base cost from
which to work. If this is not the case, or the information does not include logo
embellishments or color and style backgrounds, a trip to the bank may be
necessary to gather information for apples-to-apples comparison. This
information may also be found online through the bank. Log in to your account
and follow the steps to order checks to view the check catalog and pricing.
Once you've established a baseline for price comparison for customized checks in
logo-complementary colors (if available), make a note of turnaround time. Time
is another important business consideration. This is all the information needed
to make a comprehensive cost comparison of checks ordered through the bank
versus online check ordering. You may be surprised at the dramatic difference in
price and speed of delivery. Most online printers back their products with a
quality assurance guarantee, so you can order business checks from this website
with confidence. Low overhead often assures lower cost for better product,
delivered faster. Companies without bank contracts are forced to compete for
customer business, and that is always good for your bottom line.
