When a company wants checks made out to a person who is not coincidentally the name of the company, something fishy is going on. They may just be trying to dodge the IRS (there's a wise choice!<not>) or setting themselves up to be able to say: "We are XYZ company. We never heard of Fred Flintstone and are not responsible for checks he received and cashed."
Whenever a client gives me a check made out to me, I give it back and ask them to rewrite it to the company name. Then there is no chance of even an appearance of impropriety.
