Hello



I hired a contractor to do some work, the work is complete and I got
a bill.
The amount is $800. On the invoice at the bottom they wrote in ink
make
check payable to "john smith", the owner. Not the name of the
company.



I guess they are doing this to avoid taxes.



The issue is, I would like to make the check out to the business's
name as
this work involved a permit and was done over a dispute with a
neighbor so I
want a record incase there are any further legal issues between me
and my
neighbor. Should I just make the check out to the companies business
or to
the owner?

Make it out to John Smith and then put the companies business name in
the Memo. That's what I would do.
