A flexible joint venture agreement for any kind of venture - customize and download in minutes

A joint venture agreement is the contract two businesses or individuals sign when they combine their skills, resources or assets to pursue a shared opportunity, while staying independent. This template is a standard, plain-English, jurisdiction-neutral format that adapts to any kind of venture - a project, a product launch, a property development, a joint bid, or an ongoing collaboration. It sets out the purpose and scope, what each party contributes, how profits and losses are shared, how the venture is managed and decisions are made, and how it can be ended.

Just answer a few simple questions - the venture name, the two parties, the purpose and activities, each party's contribution and participating interest, and the management and governing law - and your personalized joint venture agreement is generated instantly, with a cover page, a table of contents and a contributions schedule, ready to download as PDF or Word.

What this joint venture agreement includes

- A cover page ("Joint Venture Agreement for the venture, between the parties") and a table of contents

- Clear identification of the two Parties

- The purpose and scope of the venture, written to adapt to any kind of collaboration

- A nature-of-relationship clause confirming it is a contractual joint venture, not a partnership, with each party responsible for its own tax and debts

- The term and commencement, running for a fixed period or until the purpose is achieved

- Contributions by each party (capital, assets or services) and their participating interests, recorded in a Schedule 1 table

- Management and decisions - a management committee with equal representation, day-to-day decisions by majority, and major decisions needing both parties' consent

- Profits, losses and distributions shared by participating interest, plus bank account and accounting rules

- Responsibilities, intellectual property (background IP stays with its owner; JV IP shared), confidentiality, and an exclusivity / non-competition clause

- Warranties, liability and indemnity with a cap, term and termination with a wind-up mechanism, force majeure, dispute resolution (discussion, mediation, then arbitration), a governing-law clause you choose, and standard boilerplate

- An execution block for both parties and a witness

Who is this joint venture agreement for?

Small businesses, freelancers, startups and investors who want to team up with another party on a specific project or ongoing venture without merging their businesses. Because it is jurisdiction-neutral and venture-agnostic, you choose the governing law and describe the venture, so the same format works for a one-off collaboration, a property or construction project, a joint product, or a longer-term alliance.

Disclaimer: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal advice. Joint ventures can raise tax, competition/antitrust, regulatory and liability issues that vary by country and by the type of venture, and a large or long-term venture may be better structured as a separate company. For high-value ventures or anything you are unsure about, have the final agreement reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing.
