Small claims procedure for requesting proof from defendant

[Smallclaims]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa and Wisconsin

I work for a corporation in Iowa, suing past customers with unpaid account balances who sold their business or went out of business. One case is in Wisconsin and one in Iowa.
Question: In the small claims trial/hearing, can I request that documents be provided by the defendant to prove his claims? I would specifically like to see their corporate books or accounting records to show what happened to their assets upon dissolution or sale of their business. If they cannot provide that, I would then like to request any other documentation or proof that they were actually a corporation. Can I request this in small claims court, and if so, how?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
