Portsmouth is named best place in NH to start a new business - Foster's Daily Democrat
13.04.09
PORTSMOUTH — Local officials say they are pleased, but not surprised that a recent BusinessWeek article has named the Port City the best small city in New Hampshire to start up a new business.
BusinessWeek — a national publication — searched cities across the United States with populations ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 people and compiled a list naming the best in each of the 50 states.
Portsmouth with its cultural vitality, proximity to major universities and workforce of 13,232 came out on top for the Granite State, according to a Business Week article by John Tozzi noting "bigger isn't always better when it comes to selecting a place to start a company."
The BusinessWeek study selected the best small city in each state using a patent pending technology by ZoomProspector.com that determined the list using a variety of demographic, business, and geographic variables that impact the probable success of a business start up.

Law in New Hampshire that states the owner or proprietor of the business must appear in small claim?

If a company sues you and a manger shows up you have the right to file for a motion to dismiss, because the do not have proof they are allowed to represent the company and act on their behalf. I need the RSA or specific name of the law, if anyone out there knows.
If the plaintiff is a sole proprietorship, the proprietor or his attorney must be present. If it's anything other than a sole proprietorship, the following applies:
503:11 Representation of Corporations and Other Business Organizations. –
I. Notwithstanding RSA 311:11, and to the extent not inconsistent with court rules, an officer, employee, partner, owner or trustee, as applicable, of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust who presents written authorization and who is not an attorney but is appearing for the organization, may represent the organization in an action cognizable as a small claim under this chapter before a district or municipal court for the purposes of entering a plea or answer on behalf of the organization, or otherwise representing the organization during the course of the small claim proceeding.
II. The requirement for written authorization in paragraph I shall be met by a document, signed by a duly authorized official of the organization and containing a certificate of acknowledgment to the signature, authorizing the representation, and acknowledging that the organization shall be bound by any agreement entered into by such individual or any order of the court in the matter. Any such written authorization shall be presented to the court under oath by the representative.
III. Nothing in this section shall prevent the court from denying representation by any individual it deems to be improper, inappropriate or unable to adequately represent the interests of the organization.
IV. "Duly authorized'' as used in paragraph II shall mean:
(a) For a corporation, a resolution adopted by the board of directors.
(b) For a partnership, an authorization signed by a general partner.
(c) For a trust, an authorization signed by a trustee.
(d) For a limited liability company, an authorization signed by a member with management authority.
V. The authorization of the duly authorized official by the organization may apply to all matters or may be limited to specific matters at the election of the organization.
Meaning, without written authorization, yes, the case should be dismissed or postponed.
