A business usually must establish a valid contract, the plaintiff’s performance or excuse for nonperformance, the other party’s breach, and resulting damages. The difficulty depends on contract clarity, written evidence, communications, payment records, notice requirements, defenses, and whether damages can be documented with reasonable certainty.
