Are there any restrictions on who can be involved in a joint venture?

In Washington, the laws governing joint ventures do put some restrictions on who can be involved in a joint venture. Generally, only individuals or businesses that are properly registered and licensed in Washington may be involved in a joint venture. This means that if one or more of the parties involved in the joint venture are located or do business outside of Washington, they must be properly registered and licensed to do business in the state before they can be involved in a joint venture. In addition, there are a few restrictions to who can actually be parties in a joint venture. Generally, only people or organizations that can enter into contracts, such as individuals, partnerships, companies, and other incorporated entities, can be parties in a joint venture. Additionally, those who are involved in the joint venture must have the legal capacity, or authority, to enter into contracts or have the consent of someone who does have legal capacity. Finally, all of the parties involved in the joint venture must have the same goal and purpose that they are working towards and must be willing to share the risks, costs, and profits of the venture. This includes being willing to contribute to the venture and sharing in the benefits that arise from it. Without all of these things, a joint venture cannot exist.
