Properties / The Joint Venture Agreement by thecavemanesq(m): 4:55pm On Jan 08, 2019 |
JOINT VENTURE When two or more parties, whether individuals or entities, enter into an agreement to combine resources for a specific business undertaking, it is referred to as a “joint venture.” The organization of a joint venture serves as a short term partnership for the duration of the project, in which each participant shares responsibility for the project’s associated costs, profits, and losses. Although the parties share responsibility, the joint venture is its own legal entity that remains separate from the parties’ other business interests. To explore this concept, consider the following joint venture definition. Definition of Joint Venture Noun An association of two or more individuals or entities for the purpose of engaging in a specific business enterprise for profit. Origin Late 19th century first used in the building of the U.S. railroad system joint venture Purpose of a Joint Venture Parties enter into joint venture contracts in order to combine strengths and increase competitive advantage while minimizing risk. For example, a tech firm may collaborate with a manufacturing company to bring a new high-tech idea to the marketplace. One party provides the product expertise, the other provides the means for production. Additionally, joint ventures provide a way for companies to enter foreign markets. For example, a foreign company enters into a joint venture with a U.S. company for sale of its product. The foreign company then benefits from the domestic company’s governmental approval and business relationships in the industry. This is referred as an “international joint venture.” Joint Venture Agreement A joint venture (“JV”) begins when the parties enter into a contract or “joint venture agreement,” the specifics of which are of crucial importance for avoiding problems later on. In creating the agreement, the parties should state specifically the purpose and goal of the venture, as well as the venture’s limitations. The agreement should be very specific in outlining each party’s duties and rights under the agreement, taking into account that all parties are entitled to share in the profits as well as the losses incurred in the venture. Each party to a JV has a responsibility to act in “good faith” in all matters regarding the venture, taking care to uphold the interests of all parties involved. This amounts to a legal fiduciary duty to the venture, even if it becomes necessary for a party to place individual interests below those of the group. The joint venture agreement should specify both the formation and termination dates, or that the venture terminates when its purpose has been accomplished. Some JV agreements specify that the venture will automatically terminate if one of the members dies. More specifically, a JV agreement should specifically detail the following: Structure – whether the JV will be a separate business entity in its own right, or simply a short term project Objective – the purpose and goals of the JV Confidentiality – an agreement for the parties to protect any trade and commercial secrets disclosed during the venture Financial Contributions – how much money each party will contribute to the venture Assets and Employees – whether each party will contribute assets, and whether they will assign employees to, or hire new employees for the venture Intellectual Property Ownership – which party will have ownership of any intellectual property created by the venture Management – specific responsibilities of each party, and the procedures to be followed in operations of the venture Profits, Losses, and Liabilities – specifics of how any profits and losses are to be distributed or shared among the parties, as well as the assignment of liabilities Disputes – specific instructions for the resolution of disputes that may arise between the parties Exit Strategy – specific details on when and how the JV will end, including the final distribution of assets and debts Benefits of a Joint Venture Creating a JV provides an opportunity for the parties to benefit from one another’s expertise. Other benefits include: Enables the parties to offer their customers new products and services Helps the parties to save money in operating, marketing, and advertising costs Helps the parties save time Helps the parties acquire new business associates and referrals Enables the parties to gain new technological know-how or new geographical market territories Does not require a long-term commitment Joint Venture Examples Since two of the nation’s burgeoning railroads entered into a joint venture to expand rail service to a rapidly growing West Coast population in themed 1800s, the concept has experienced phenomenal growth. The idea of being able to join forces with another individual or company solely for the purpose of taking on a single business enterprise offers solutions to companies large and small. Below are two famous joint venture examples. Kellogg Company Joins with Wilmar International Limited Anticipating China’s rise to the top of the food and beverage global market, Kellogg Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Wilmar International Limited for the purpose of selling and distributing cereal and snack foods to consumers in China. While Kellogg brings to the table an extensive collection of globally renowned products as well as their expertise in the industry, Wilmar offers marketing and sales infrastructure in China, including an extensive distribution network and supply chain. Joining together allows both companies to profit from a synergistic relationship. The Joint Venture of Hulu The 2008 joint venture launched by NBC Universal Television Group (Comcast), Fox Broadcasting Company (21st Century Fox), and Disney-ABC Television Group (The Walt Disney Company) to create the enormously popular video streaming website “Hulu” is one example of a large scale partnering of companies that has been very profitable. Though individually the companies are competitors over the U.S. airwaves, combining their efforts to provide streaming content to billions of homes, computers, and mobile devices proved a powerful way to increase revenues. The success of Hulu has potential buyers lining up with offers topping $1 billion. Joint Venture Accounting Setting up accurate Joint Venture accounting is crucial, and best assigned to a professional. For accounting purposes, there are three main types of JV, each of which recognizes assets and liabilities a bit differently: Jointly Controlled Operations – while the JV with jointly controlled operations utilizes the resources and assets of each of the parties, each party incurs its own expenses, raises its own financing, and contributes its own assets to the venture. Jointly Controlled Assets – the parties jointly own and control the assets contributed to the JV, as well as the assets acquired by the venture, each receiving a share of the income and expenses of the venture. Jointly Controlled Entities – this type of JV requires the formation of a separate legal entity in which each party owns an interest. The newly created entity then controls the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, of the venture. This jointly controlled entity maintains its own records for accounting purposes, preparing financial statements on a regular basis. If a party to the venture contributes money or other assets to the jointly controlled entity, the contribution is regarded as an investment. The Qualified Joint Venture IRS law permits certain joint venture businesses owned by a married couple to file business taxes as a Qualified Joint Venture (QJV), rather than a standard partnership. When filing as a partnership on IRS Schedule C, only one spouse is credited for social security and Medicare coverage. Filing as a Qualified Joint Venture, with each spouse reporting a share of the business profits and losses, enables both spouses to receive social security and Medicare coverage credit. In order to qualify as a Qualified Joint Venture, the business must meet the following three conditions: The only members of the JV are a married couple who file a joint IRS tax return Both spouses actively participate in the business Both spouses choose not to treat the business as a partnership Working With a Joint Venture Broker An individual experienced in creating, participating in, and dissolving joint ventures may become a joint venture broker (JV broker), using his expertise to pair up the right projects with the right people. The JV broker has been specially trained to assist businesses in the creation and management of Joint Ventures, increasing the chance the venture will be profitable. In addition to offering suitable partners for a JV, a broker often offers supportive services in marketing and other strategies for success. A JV broker generally has a large database of companies in a variety of industries, each looking for joint venture opportunities. By gathering all of the relevant information and doing the necessary research, a JV broker saves the individual or company time and money. Related Legal Terms and Issues Asset – Any valuable thing or property owned by a person or entity, regarded as being of value. Intellectual Property – Anything created by the human intellect, such as artistic and literary works, designs, images, symbols, and names. Liabilities – A company’s legal obligations or debts that come up during the course of business. Legal Entity – An individual, company, association, trust, or other organization that is legally recognized in the eyes of the law. A legal entity is able to enter into contracts, take on obligations, pay debts, be sued, and be held responsible for its actions |

The contract for the 2,733km new Lagos-Kano rail was first awarded by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration in 2006 at a cost of[b] $8.3bn to the CCECC[/b], but could not be executed due to paucity of funds - are you now saying that the government of President Obasanjo was broke. It was rewarded to the same contractor by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration What has been done about it since then? in 2012 for execution in six phases, starting with the Lagos-Ibadan stretch. (Bear in mind that this Government was the richest in the last 10 years) [/i] It's like ALL these Governments (Under the PDP) are using the project to loot funds (personal aggrandisement), let's wait and see if same will be said about the Government of APC[i] 6 Likes |
