A few years ago I purchased a business. The seller's son stayed with the company for a period of time as an estimator and then left to concentrate on a competing business that he purchased despite a non-compete (which should be resolved in a few months..).
Along with stealing all of the large customers that came with the business, he has done an amazing job of creating confusion in the market place. For the most part people think that he purchased my business from his dad and sold it to me or merged it with his business and that my business has nothing to do with the company I bought and the work that the business has performed in the last few years has actually been through him. He has also bad mouthed my business as well.
I'm at a loss as far as how to combat this.
