You file in the county in which the business is located: small claims courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and generally only have jurisdiction (or legal power) over defendants located within their county. Remember that if the business is an LLC or corporation, you can only sue the LLC or corporation, not the owner(s) directly; if it's non-LLC or non-corporation, you sue the owners.
