Joint ventures can be permanently-term, like promoting a product together, or some can be short-term, like bartering (trading) products and services. Joint venture ideas are virtually populous.
Advantages of forming a Joint Venture?
- Make good companies with the fine opportunity to gain new capacity and expertise
- Allow companies to enter related businesses or new geographic markets or gain new technological knowledge
- Access to greater resources, including specialised staff and technology
- sharing of risks with a venture partner
- Joint ventures can be flexible. For example, a joint venture can have a limited life span and only cover part of what you do, thus limiting both your commitment and the business' possibility.
- In the era of divestiture and aggregation, JV's offer a creative way for companies to exit from non-core businesses.
- Companies can gradually separate a business from the rest of the organisation, and eventually, sell it to the other parent company. Roughly 80% of all joint ventures end in a sale by one partner to the other.
The Disadvantages of Joint Venture
- It takes time and effort to build the right relationship and partnering with another business can be challenging.Problems are likely to arise if:
- The objectives of the venture are not 100 per cent clear and communicated to everyone involved.
- There is an imbalance in levels of expertise, investment or assets brought into the venture by the different partners.
- Different cultures and management styles result in poor integration and co-operation.

- Access to new markets and distribution networks.
- Increased capacity.
- Sharing of risks and costs with a partner.
-Access to greater resources, including specialised staff, technology and finance.
-The partners don't provide enough leadership and support in the early stages.
