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.
