My company (a corporation) provided services for another company earlier this year. They have since made a partial payment toward the invoice, but now are ignoring all of our communication. Unfortunately, I see no other option than to sue. I attempted to look up the other company's fictitious business name, but it doesn't appear to be registered in this or any adjacent counties.

I have multiple questions as I have no experience with small claims.

1.) I have attached form SC-103 for the fictitious business name. But as a business owner, do I write just my name for Item 1 on form SC-100, or should I also write my d.b.a. (i.e. John R. Doe or John R. Doe d.b.a The Company, Inc.)?

2.) For Item 2 on the same form, should I state just the owner as the defendant, or include the possibly unregistered business name he is using?

3.) The owner of the other business is foreign. What I have thought was his first name is listed as his last name in multiple sources. If I list his name in the wrong order, would this make my service or the case itself invalid?
 
1. SO long as you write it in a way that there is no question who the involved parties are you should be fine.

2. Use his name, or include both if there is room.

3. Listing the name incorrectly won't invalidate it. If it is a confusing name then it is likely a common error. Backwards or not, the name likely makes him easy to identify for service.
