"Help, I'm being sued by a previous boss. I'm trying to grow my cleaning company and I'm being sued because they said I stole their clients. Do I have to have a lawsuit if I'm being sued or can I just ask for forgiveness and resolve it outside of court?" Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says you may have signed a non-compete clause. A breach of contract may have triggered the subpoena and the court case. Market your cleaning business on your own turf. And treat your non-compete and non-disclosure agreements with respect. Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner (house cleaner education.) Savvy Perks (a perks program for small business owners to help you save money on business stuff.) HouseCleaning360 (a place a maid can find clients so you don't get sued.) And My Cleaning Connection where you can find all sorts of cleaning help, ideas, and tips.   *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** https://askahousecleaner.com/show   *** MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC *** Is My Non-Compete Agreement Enforceable?
