Renting a unit to a company?

[Megan W.]

We own a multi family apartment unit and we had a prospective tenant interested in renting for a year. His job is sending him to the area due to a contract they have here and they will be paying the rent. We would like to proceed but unsure of the process we should go about it. How do we “run a credit check” on this company? Do we do a background check on him though? Proof of funds? The lease will be in the company name. Any insight one may have would be great. This is new territory for us.
