First, you should enter a Joint venture agreement with detailed terms and conditions such as funding, Capital ratio, Reserved Matters, Non-Compete and Non-Solicit, Buy & Sell, Put and Call and dispute resolutions etc…in order to avoid future conflicts if any..
Based on JV agreement, the parties may either incorporate a new company into which they may invest, or develop an existing company as the joint venture entity by investing into such company.
This type of joint ventures functions as the special purpose vehicle to carry out the business objectives of the joint venture.
If you don’t wish to incorporate a new company, you choose a contractual based JV system and enter either a collaboration or consortium agreement in which you should clearly define the revenue sharing ratios, roles and responsibility etc…In this type the parties should maintain accounting records separately
