What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Hampshire
I had a house cleaning business which I sold two years ago as I had an injury and was unable to work. There was not a non compete in the purchase and sale. I did have an attorney draw up papers, and the buyer chose not to be represented by an attorney and thus there was never a non compete in the P&S. I am fully recovered and would like to start another house cleaning business. I am pretty sure since there is no non compete, I can do this. I have bent over backwards giving info to the new buyer to help her, but I am done with that after two years as I'm not a consultant. However, can I solicit my prior customers back after I sold her the business for $70,000 with no non compete in the purchase and sale? Some have been calling me to come back to them if I am able to work again. Here in New Hampshire Thank you.
