What is a Joint Venture?

A joint venture agreement is a legal contract between two or more parties (individuals, companies or other organizations) that outlines the terms, responsibilities, and expectations for a specific business project or venture. The agreement establishes the structure, management, and ownership of the joint venture, and sets forth the methods for sharing profits, losses, and decision-making authority. Joint ventures are typically formed for a limited period of time and for a specific purpose, such as a new product launch, real estate development, or a joint marketing campaign.
