What is a joint venture agreement?
A joint venture agreement is a legal contract between two or more parties to create a new business venture. This agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party involved and how the venture will be funded and managed. Under a joint venture agreement, the parties are jointly and severally liable for any debts or obligations incurred, meaning that each party is responsible for its own debts and all of the other parties’ debts. This means that any of the parties involved in the joint venture can be held accountable for any of the other party’s actions. The terms of the agreement should also outline how the venture will be structured. This includes the purpose of the venture, the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved, how the venture will be funded, and how profits will be distributed. In New York, all joint venture agreements must be in writing and signed by all parties to be legally binding. Furthermore, all proposed investments must be approved by the Attorney General’s Office before a joint venture can be formed. Joint venture agreements are a great way for two or more parties to come together to create a new business venture. By creating a well-structured joint venture agreement, the parties can ensure that all of their interests are protected and that disputes are handled in an efficient and orderly manner.
