Joint Venture
Definition
A formal business arrangement where two parties collaborate on a specific project or venture, sharing investment, risk, and rewards.
Why it matters
JVs allow two businesses to pursue opportunities neither could access alone, combining complementary strengths without a full merger or acquisition.
Example
A photographer and a brand consultant launch a joint "Brand in a Day" service together. Clients pay one price; revenue is split. Neither could deliver the full product alone.
