Make it payable to their request. A lot of businesses have checks
made out to the owner. Dentist is one example. More power to them
if they can avoid taxes and never get caught.

I never made a check out to a dentist that I didn't put Dr. on it.

For a thought experiment to illustrate the difference -- think of suing that same dentist personally and imagine how how high the barriers are between his personal assets and those of the business under that name! The probability of you getting to the proceeds of that check you wrote with his name on it are pretty miniscule... :)
