    Hi, if I own a sole proprietor company and I get paid by check directed to that company, how would I cash it at my bank? Like what documents would I need to show to prove that I am owner of the company? I'm guessing the state license and EIN verification, but I am not sure. Thanks.

    You generally need to have a business account under that name. A bank will require a fictitious business name statement to open the account - and depending on the bank, a business license may also be required. You can use your own SSN if you wish.
