A contract is a binding legal document that represents an agreement between two or more people. Contracts are essential for efficient and standardized operation of a business. A business owner may enter into a contract with a vendor or customer to specify the terms of the transaction and to delineate the parties’ rights in the event of default. A well-drafted contract can protect a business’s interests and eliminate confusion regarding time of performance and method of payment.

A Non-Compete Agreement is a promise not to engage in a type of business for a specified period of time within a particular geographical area. These types of Agreements are often found in contracts for the sale of a business. Operating a business is difficult; it becomes much more so if the Seller becomes the competition. Buyers recognize that the value of the business will be lessened if a Seller is able to open a similar establishment down the street. That is why a non-compete provision is crucial in the purchase of an existing business.
If you are purchasing a business and have questions regarding Non-Compete Agreements, contact the Law Office of Ryan C. Solis to schedule a consultation.

A Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreement is crucial for protecting intellectual property. The terms Non-Disclosure Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement are often used interchangeably. They both serve a similar purpose: to prevent the use or disclosure of trade secrets, procedures, or other internal matters shared between individuals or businesses. Oftentimes businesses will share proprietary information with prospective buyers. Before disclosing this type of information, it is imperative to execute a Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreement to ensure that the disclosed information is kept confidential and used only for the limited purpose associated with this type of disclosure. If you are planning on selling your business or are willing to entertain offers from a prospective purchaser, you first need a Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreement.
