Joint Venture Agreement
A joint venture agreement is a contract in which parties combine resources and share control for a defined business undertaking without necessarily forming a permanent combined entity. Use this when two companies collaborate on one product or market entry without merging entirely. It defines capital, decision votes, and dissolution if the project ends.
