I am not familiar with the legislation in other places, but to me the reasonable way to interpret your "verbal contract" is that you gave exclusive rights to her business, not her as a physical person. (Swedish law can make a difference between "legal person" such as a company, and a physical person) Since the legal person (her business) apparently no longer exists the agreement no longer exists.
If you want to be absolutely sure that you do not leave any uncertainties, send her a letter (paper) in which you inform her that "I interpret our agreement this way..." and that you take the rights back since the conditions under which the agreement was made no longer exists. If you want to be extra, extra certain, add a passage that "is I do not hear from you before ...date... I will take it that you accept/agree"
I also agree with Saturnstar that an ad might be a way.
