Non-compete / non-solicit

Promises the seller gives for after the sale. A non-compete stops it competing with the business it sold for a period, and a non-solicit stops it poaching the staff or customers. A court enforces them only if they go no wider than needed to protect the goodwill sold. Clause 11 · Chapter 15

Explained in Chapter 15, Completion and Beyond, of M&A Foundations.

Every chapter of M&A Foundations is free to read, including the full training share purchase agreement.
