Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Re: Non-Compete

Sounds like you breached the original agreement and the sale of your business could be considered settlement of the breach. But that wouldn't on its own terminate the original agreement. Of course, I haven't read the agreements.

Absolutely. By signing the agreement stating your non compete would begin again, you have reaffirmed it in writing. If properly worded, this would have the same effect as if you had signed a new non compete agreement.
