    "Execution of Judgment
    After the judgment is entered, the winning party may need to execute and enforce the terms of the judgment in order to collect money or property. If judgment monies are paid in full, the plaintiff must furnish the defendant with a completed satisfaction of judgment form which can be obtained from the clerk's office.

    The Court does not Guarantee Collection"

    Pro Se Small Claims Court

    Very often the Judgment is the "easy" part. It's collecting that's difficult.

    Seen a writ of execution and such but since it's a business can I have the money or equipment seized since I can't garnish and individuals wages?

    Your Judgment is against the business so that's the entity from which you collect - equipment, supplies, cash register, whatever you can get "authorized."
