You probably need to list the reason...

I have an unpaid invoice. I have sent 120 day invoice and have sent three registered letters that were signed for. They have never replied. Problem started upon hiring a new president. I had been doing business with them for 2 years.

Have you been paid by them before? If so, determine the entity name on the payment cheque and sue that entity.

You might also put a lien on the Chamber.

Judicial notices must be addressed to the registered agent or the head of the corporation.

If you know the name of the previous President and he, or an agent, is the one that signed for the invoice then you should name him for service. It would be up to him to add the current President to the suit if there has been a change in leadership since the invoice was signed. The lien might be difficult to attach if the service was something like providing a dinner setting.

If you go to Small Claims court, you should probably ask the clerk as their local rules might be different. Small Claims Court clerks are there to help with questions like that. Just don't expect them to answer legal questions.

Good Luck
