LLC how to write a proper business check?
I have opened a business checking account for my single member LLC, when I need to write a check do I sign my personal name at the bottom right corner, do I write the company name? and if someone is paying my company on the back should I just write the company name and then sign below?

when you open the bank account even in the name of the company, the person who signs it has to be someone of responsibility in the company, the treasurer, the bookkeeper, the president, etc
there has to be a name of a person signing the check

It is CRITICAL that you get this right: you are not "personally" allowed to sign checks of the LLC. The LLC must give you the authority to sign its checks. You would then sign with your "company signature", which could be your "regular" signature followed by your title or by the words, "as agent for StevensCO LLC", or the like.
If you simply sign your personal signature there is a presumption that you intend to be personally liable for the check, rather than the LLC being liable.
You could write the company name AS the signature, but most people use a form of "Joe Dokes, President" or similar.

no such thing as an improper check
you sign your name not your biz name--a business
can't go to court, only a person can.
a biz does'nt do things, people do
simple
