Re: Define a Joint venture

A Joint Venture, legally, is a single-shot undertaking between 2 entities [people, corporations], in the nature of a partnership to accomplish a common goal.

One of the newer, more noticeable joint ventures is between Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, when they join forces and occupy a common facility.

A joint venture provides an interest to both entities in the venture, but not in each other.

It is a common device in business, but usually of limited scope and duration.
