The Risks of Seller Competition
Sellers may engage in competitive practices that undermine the buyer's position post-sale. This includes instances where sellers request lengthy non-compete clauses while planning to re-enter the market shortly after a sale. The problem is compounded when sellers engage in deceptive practices that directly harm the buyer's business relationships or integrity. Such behaviors can severely affect the future success of the acquired business, making due diligence and awareness of seller motivations crucial.
