A Virginia non-solicitation agreement safeguards business owners by preventing former employees from attempting to poach their customers and other workers. This document is also often signed as part of a sale of a business, guarding the new owner against unfair competition. The signed document should describe how long the restrictions will last and for what geographical area they will apply. Additionally, the contract may be tailored to restrict interactions with customers, employees, vendors, suppliers, or other beneficial business relationships.
