What if I sell my business to someone and then go right out and start another business just like the one I just sold?

The market will determine who gets future business?

Or bought one last month paying extra for the non-compete clause.

In California, where non-competes have always been illegal, there is a carveout allowing non-competes in this specific situation (along with a couple others - partners in a partnership, etc).

I would imagine the FTC has something similar in there but who knows. It may be as simple as saying that people selling a business interest aren't "employees" - which is true - so they aren't covered here.
