Legal Question in Business Law in California

A company is forced to shut down because a partner 'b' (who signed an equity/investment agreement) failed to invest in the company and the company was relying on this monthly investment to survive. Should partner 'a' file a small claim against partner 'b' as an individual or as the company? This question is because the company will have ceased operating by the time of the small claim hearing.
