Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Getting out from a purchase agreement

I signed a purchase agreement to buy an existing business in 1998.After 5 long years of constant struggle I can't seem to get this business to turn a profit.I am a single woman with no other means of support.My question is can I walk from this business and no longer be held accountable or how can I get out.I will probably have to file bankruptcy.

Unless the contract provided a method to terminate you cannot get out of it.

After 5 years, I doubt that you can get out of the original agreement. If you are concerned about your current financial condition then you should consult with competent counsel. There is salvation for you.
