I would file in the county & state you live in, get judgment & then transcript the judgment to where the company is located

Re: small claims- file in your state or where co. is located?

You always get a judgment in the location of where the defendant lives or where the contract was entered. You should check the signing agent agreement that you signed because it could contain language that states that you must bring claim in a specific jurisdiction...

May be state specific

In Florida, the plaintiff (and defendant) has the following options for the venue of the action:

1) Where the contract was entered into
2) If suit is on an unsecured promissory note, where the note is signed or where the maker resides
3) If the suit is to recover property or to foreclose a lien, where the property is located
4) Where the event giving rise to the suit occurred
5) Where any one or more of the defendants sued reside
6) Any location agreed to in a contract
7) In an action for money due, if there is no agreement as to where suit may be filed, where payment is to be made
