Ontario unpaid invoice: can a small business use Small Claims Court?

Jez Smith4 October 2026

Yes, if the claim fits the court’s jurisdiction. Ontario Small Claims Court can hear claims for money or personal property up to $50,000, excluding interest and costs. A business chasing an unpaid invoice should keep the contract or quote, invoice, proof of supply, payment reminders and correspondence. Official source: Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General.
