New Form - A Joint Check Agreement Form

Maybe you're a subcontractor doing a project that requires more material than your credit limit allows, or maybe you're a general contractor who wants to make sure that the subcontractors pay their suppliers, or maybe you're a supplier who wants to give more contractors a chance to do work by supplying them with material they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to purchase upfront. Whatever your reason, this joint check agreement can help you to accomplish your goals. It's been a very often requested form so I finally created it and got it posted online for sale.
