Without a strategic plan, it’s difficult to pursue a joint venture. It’s important to establish mutual values and objectives from the beginning. Joint ventures should be supported with dedication from both partners and detailed documentation.
Joint venture agreements can take many different legal structures. To choose the most appropriate structure, it’s vital to get advice from a joint venture agreement solicitor.
The different types of joint venture agreements include:
Partnerships fall under the 1890 Partnership Act and do not form individual legal entities. Due to this, the partners share all liabilities and profits equally. To establish different terms, the parties must create a partnership agreement, outlining said terms.
Some joint ventures include high-value projects, requiring both parties to make a significant investment. In such cases, the partners may decide to form a new company to develop a product or service. Under these circumstances, the collaborative businesses can form a Limited Liability Company.
A contractual joint venture involves two or more companies collaborating on a joint project. All parties involved share expertise, knowledge and costs to develop the project on an ongoing basis.
When entering into a contractual joint venture, the involved businesses and individuals can negotiate the terms however they like. It’s advisable to consult a joint ventures agreement solicitor when drafting these contracts.
Entering into a joint venture agreement has many benefits. For example, a joint venture agreement gives both companies access to more resources. Sharing resources with another party means your business can take advantage of specialist tools, new markets and knowledge.
Collaborating gives both parties extra support and the opportunity to spread risk across two or more companies. Joint venture agreements provide improved flexibility as joint ventures can be short-term. Fixed-term arrangements allow for the development of successful projects without a long-term legal commitment.
Joint venture agreements can involve several risks, for instance, the risk of disputes. Unless both businesses establish the terms and objectives at the start, disagreements will likely arise later on. For this reason, it’s essential to seek specialist legal advice.
