6 Reasons Small and Seasonal Business Owners Need Unlimited Checks
Small businesses, side businesses, and seasonal businesses can all experience wide variations in the revenue and the expenses during the year. Seasonal fluctuation in revenue and payments then makes check volume difficult to predict. Any business that experiences peak times followed by slowdowns can benefit from online check printing that comes without minimums or limitations. With Checkeeper, users can print one or two checks one month and then one-hundred the next, all without worrying about accruing fees for heavy usage.
Six reasons unlimited checks is an essential feature for your online check printing service:
1. Exceeding limits results in added fees
No small business owner wants to pay more than necessary for a service. Convenience fees, service charges, and overage fees can add up over time and make a straightforward payment process cumbersome and expensive. Online check printing that comes with a limitation on the number of checks printed each month will inevitably result in some overage due to unforeseen payment needs and, thus, extraneous fees.
2. Checks may need a redesign or update
Every time you change an address, change banks, or open a new account, you need all new checks. Unless you use Checkeeper. Checkeeper’s online template editor enables up-to-the-minute edits, changes, modifications, redesigns, and even whole new layout replacements. Update your contact information or change bank account and routing numbers on your checks whenever appropriate. Updating your logo? Simply remove the old one from your account and scan and upload your new one to place on all subsequent checks. Even custom check elements that you add yourself can be moved or deactivated when needed. No more having to discard perfectly usable checks simply because some information is outdated; online check printing allows users to update and revise checks on demand.
3. More checks may be needed for payroll
If you use Checkeeper to print and mail payments for routine bills, you probably have a fair estimate of approximately how many checks you’ll need each month. However, if you take on some additional employees or decide to add a custom paycheck option to the payroll process, you’ll likely need a lot more checks available to you for distributing. Checkeeper can print paychecks for the entire office, or just for those employees who elect to receive their compensation by check. Freelancers, too, whose work volume varies according to season or project, are often paid by mailed checks. Instead of worrying about keeping track of how many checks you have left to print, opt for unlimited check printing and mailing all month, and never think about it again.
4. You have multiple bank accounts
Issuing checks from multiple bank accounts used to mean managing multiple checkbooks. Checkeeper enables users to link as many checking accounts as needed, and the numbers can be changed by users when they add accounts or change banks. Checkeeper does not touch users’ funds or go into their checking accounts to withdraw money; the Checkeeper template simply prints the bank account and routing numbers along the bottom of the check exactly as they are input, automatically formatted for you in the MICR font that bank computers recognize. Link all the checking accounts you need to when you want to pay for different things from different sources.
5. You issue payments for multiple businesses
Business owners who operate multiple businesses, as well as bookkeepers who manage payments for many clients at once, appreciate the relief of not having to keep track of checks printed for each company. Link additional businesses to your single Checkeeper account, and issue payments from all of them from the same login and navigation pages. Even if some businesses require many checks, and some require only a few, all of them are entitled to unlimited check printing through their own subscription access.
6. An emergency situation might compel you to rely more heavily on checks
When other, typically-used payment or payroll systems are disrupted—due to a security breach, a temporary shutdown, or a product discontinuation—business owners must scramble to find a reliable replacement in the interim. Checkeeper has stepped in during many of these unpredictable and unexpected events to keep payments and paychecks going. Checkeeper does not limit how many checks users print—even during the free trial period—so business owners can comfortably shift to check printing for all payment needs during the entire duration of their emergency.
In addition to the number of checks printable each month, consider some other things that users get unlimited with Checkeeper:
- number of saved check layouts
- number of linked checking accounts
- choice of check stock
- length of time the service is used
