    You could put a lien on anything the company owns to my understanding but not his personal home, as he and the business are 2 separate entities. Have you spoken to a lawyer or collection agency that could help collect on your behalf?

    You cannot really do anything effective until you win a court judgment. I suppose you could ask a collection agency to report it with Dunn and Bradstreet, that's not going to help you much. Get a lawyer and have them served.
