This Non-Compete Agreement after the sale of a business, although not actually used to transfer ownership of any business assets, may often be used separately during the course of various business transfer transactions. It provides for the party who is selling a business or business assets to agree not to operate a similar business which will compete with the buyer.

The terms include a geographical limitation (in terms of miles of radius) on how closely such a competing business can be operated. Also included is a time limit (in term of years) that such an agreement will be in effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Non-Compete Agreement is a legal contract that restricts one party from starting a similar business or engaging in competitive activities for a specified period and within a defined geographical area after selling a business.

This agreement is crucial for protecting the buyer's investment by preventing the seller from competing directly, which could undermine the business's value and profitability.

The duration of a Non-Compete Agreement can vary but typically lasts between one to five years, depending on the specific terms negotiated between the parties involved.

The geographical limitation is defined in the agreement and can range from a specific radius around the business location to broader areas, depending on the nature of the business and market.

Yes, as long as the agreement is reasonable in terms of duration, geographical scope, and the nature of the restricted activities, it can be enforceable under Arkansas law.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are selling their business may require a non-compete agreement to ensure that the buyer can operate without fear of direct competition from the seller. This protects the buyer's investment and helps maintain the value of the business post-sale.
  • Situations requiring the protection of proprietary information often lead sellers to implement a non-compete agreement. By restricting the seller from starting a competing business, the buyer can safeguard sensitive business strategies and trade secrets.
  • For those involved in business mergers or acquisitions, a non-compete agreement can be essential. It ensures that the selling party does not undermine the buyer's market position by launching a similar venture shortly after the transaction.
  • Companies looking to maintain their competitive edge may use this agreement to prevent former owners from leveraging their insider knowledge against them. This is particularly important in industries where client relationships and market knowledge are critical.
  • Entrepreneurs planning to sell their business assets might find this agreement necessary to attract potential buyers. It provides assurance that the seller will not re-enter the market and compete directly, thereby enhancing the appeal of the sale.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for situations where the seller intends to remain in the same industry but in a different capacity, such as consulting or advising. In such cases, a different type of agreement may be more suitable.
  • – If the business being sold has no significant proprietary information or client relationships, a non-compete may be unnecessary and could hinder the seller's ability to work in their field.
  • – In cases where the seller is a sole proprietor with no plans to start a competing business, implementing a non-compete agreement may be excessive and unenforceable.
  • – This form should not be used if the seller is being forced into the agreement under duress or without adequate consideration, as this could render the contract void.
  • – If the buyer is not concerned about competition from the seller, then a non-compete agreement may not be needed and could complicate the sale unnecessarily.
