I think that I'm going to be ready to terminate my employment soon. Can I give less than two weeks notice if...
-I suspect I won't get paid for the time that I work (my employer is shady)
-The company is going down-hill, and our receivables (what customers owe us) is lesser than our payables (what we owe vendors... some as old as 2003)
-I've found another job that I can start immediatly
Can I quit after I process payroll for the company?

I do not see why you wouldn't. Go ahead and put in your resignation. Unless you're under some sort of contract that requires some sort of notice, you don't have to give any notice to your employer. And even if there is, you can say something like, "My last day will be..." even if it's not two weeks, with the way the company is moving, they should understand your reasons for wanting to leave ASAP.

A "two weeks notice" is generally seen as simply a method of showing consideration for an employer. In your case, if your employer has not been considerate to you, you could argue that you have no obligation to be considerate to him/her.
Another criteria may be your industry/function norm. In some industries/functions (some sales roles for instance), employers will ask a worker to leave as soon as the worker gives two-weeks notice (ie, the employer does not allow a worker to continue to work two more weeks).

Yes, you do have the right to call it quits. Don't feel bad about not giving two weeks notice because it's not a requirement. It's considered more of a courtesy.

Yes, you have the right to get out while your head is still above water, That is so shady that the company would be in that kind of predicament and not do something professional about it.

You can quit any job anytime you want unless you signed a contract stating otherwise. But if the company's going downhill I wouldn't even worry about that because they wouldn't have the money or resources to sue you for breech of contract.

Would the business owner give you two weeks notice if he/she were shutting the business down?

You can, but out of courtesy you should give them as much notice as possible. Good luck at your new job!

You could but you may need them for a reference later on.
