Non-Compete Agreement

What It Does

• Prevents an employee or contractor from starting a competing business or working for a direct competitor for a specific time and in a specific area.

• Protects your customer list, trade secrets, and inside knowledge from being used against you.

• Makes expectations clear from day one—no backstabbing, no surprises.

What It Doesn’t Do

• Doesn’t last forever—non-competes must be limited in time and geography to hold up in Michigan.

• Doesn’t prevent someone from working entirely—just from doing so in direct competition with you, based on reasonable limits.

• Doesn’t replace having a solid employment contract or NDA—you probably need all three if you’re serious.

Who Needs to Sign

• The employee or contractor you want to restrict.

• You, if you're the business owner or hiring party.

Does It Need to Be Notarized in Michigan?
No. Notarization isn’t required, but signatures and dates are essential.
