What is the procedure for filing in small claims court against a business owner when I’m an out of state business owner?

I’m a business owner who is owed $12,000 from a company that placed orders months ago but which has not paid. I already sent them a letter of demand last month. Rather than go after the company as a whole, I’d like to name the business owner as the defendant.
