Re: company will not take back sales area

You have to start by reviewing your written contract with the company to determine the term (length) of the contract and the rights to termination. Whether you entered into the contract in your corporate name or individually (or perhaps guaranteed the contract) is also relevant to determine your options.

More information would be needed to fully answer your question. It's worth a consultation with a knowledgeable attorney.

Good luck,
