One of the most annoying things when setting up a business is paying the outrageous fees for business checks. When starting out, rather than pay the $150 for the handful of computer printable checks, I had bought software that would create the checks for me. But if you didn’t know, those little digits at the bottom of a check are magnetically encoded and requires special ink. Fortunately, my current bank has one of the best bill pay websites, so I have exclusively used it. But since I recently had to open a new bank account, I went off in search of a cheap alternative for business checks. A bit wary of some of the printers, I opted for TechChecks and was extremely surprised a few days later when my checks arrived in perfect condition. (I recommend the diamond prismatic red-blue-green checks. Beautiful and very professional looking.) It was perfect timing as well, since I now have to reorder some checks for another account.
