Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

non compete/ when is when?

Ok.. here is my non compete

With the exception of the services and duties that employee performs for the company or on the company's behalf pursuant to this agreement, Employee agrees taht during the employment period and for a period of six months after the termination of this agreement, Employee shall not directly or indirectly own,manage, join, operate, control, contract with, be employed by, act in the capacity as officer, director, trustee, shareholder, or partner, or participate in or be connected to in any manner

with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any entity which directly or indirectly arranges, manages and/or ''does their type of business'' within the territory or which otherwise competes with the company within the territory.

So, at what point am I any of the above, if I am building out a facility and ''planning to compete'', I am not competing. But at what point am I an owner/manager, or any of the things I am not supposed to be for six months.

Technically the facility becomes their type of business, when? Am I an owner, etc, of there type of business during build out or just an owner of a corporation that is building out a location. Obviuosly, I do not want to open a business and be sued.
