A business can't garnish over another business, but if they hire a commercial collection agency to collect the debt, even then the agency can't garnish. When a business debt collection service goes to Court, the commercial debt collection agency can arrange a settlement to "force" the Court to garnish over the debtor. Collection Laws varies in every state
