We provided services/products to the owner of a business (Corp) but he hasn't paid us. I feel if we sue him in small claims court as a individual, he signed his name without his title on the contract, that it would be easier to collect on the judgement. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, if he signed individually, and not in behalf of the corporation, he would seem to be individually liable.

To prevail on a corporate limited liability defense he would have to be able to prove that you knew you were doing business with the corporation.

Hello b:

I'd sue the corp AND him. The judge will dismiss the one that won't count.

Both the individual and the corporation could be jointly liable. And in any case (If I correctly read what you wrote, he owns 100%. ), if you get a judgment against the individual, you could collect against assets of the corporation, if any.
