legalities of opening up a day care

I was wondering what the legalities are if I openened my own day car center within 2 miles of the day care center I was formaly employed at? Can I open one so close in vicinity? Can the other center's clients come to my center if I do not contact them? Can the employees work for me? And so on. If you can pleas contact me and let me know any answers to these questions or let me know whom I should contact to find any of these out that would be great. Thank you,--name removed--

Re: legalities of opening up a day care

The answer depends on whether you have signed a "Covenant Not to Compete" with your previous employer. This type of document may prevent you from opening a day care in close proximity or hiring the other employees or contacting the other center's clients. If you have signed such a covenant, you should have an attorney review it to advise you of your next move. If you have not signed such a covenant, then you are likely free to move forward in any manner that you wish.
