Companies typically pursue joint ventures for one of four reasons: to access a new market, particularly <a href="/wiki/Emerging_market" title="Emerging market">emerging market</a>; to gain scale efficiencies by combining <a href="/wiki/Asset" title="Asset">assets</a> and operations; to share risk for major investments or projects; or to access skills and capabilities.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most joint ventures are incorporated, although some, as in the <a href="/wiki/Oil_and_gas_industry" class="mw-redirect" title="Oil and gas industry">oil and gas industry</a>, are "unincorporated" joint ventures that mimic a corporate entity. With individuals, when two or more persons come together to form a <b>temporary partnership</b> for the purpose of carrying out a particular project, such partnership can also be called a joint venture where the parties are "<i><b>co-venturers</b></i>". </p><p>The venture can be a business JV (for example, Dow Corning), a project/asset JV intended to pursue one specific project only, or a JV aimed at defining standards or serving as an "industry utility" that provides a narrow set of services to industry participants. </p><p>Some major joint ventures include <a href="/wiki/United_Launch_Alliance" title="United Launch Alliance">United Launch Alliance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vevo" title="Vevo">Vevo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hulu" title="Hulu">Hulu</a>, <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Media_O2" title="Virgin Media O2">Virgin Media O2</a>, <a href="/wiki/Penske_Truck_Leasing" title="Penske Truck Leasing">Penske Truck Leasing</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Owens-Corning" class="mw-redirect" title="Owens-Corning">Owens-Corning</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bad_press">Bad press</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Joint_venture&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Bad press"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to Gerard Baynham of Water Street Partners, there has been much negative press about joint ventures, but objective data indicate that they may actually outperform wholly owned and controlled <a href="/wiki/Affiliate_(commerce)" title="Affiliate (commerce)">affiliates</a>. He writes, "A different narrative emerged from our recent analysis of U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) data, collected from more than 20,000 entities. According to the DOC data, foreign joint ventures of U.S. companies realized a 5.5 percent average return on assets (ROA), while those companies' wholly owned and controlled affiliates (the vast majority of which are wholly owned) realized a slightly lower 5.2 percent ROA. The same story holds true for investments by foreign companies in the U.S., but the difference is more pronounced. U.S.-based joint ventures realized a 2.2 percent average ROA, while wholly owned and controlled affiliates in the U.S. only realized a 0.7 percent ROA."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legal_definition">Legal definition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Joint_venture&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Legal definition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In <a href="/wiki/European_law" class="mw-redirect" title="European law">European law</a>, the term "joint venture" is an exclusive legal concept, better defined under the rules of <a href="/wiki/Company_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Company law">company law</a>.

Of these, five will be described or mentioned here: three relate to industry and services and two as vehicles for foreign investment. Those five categories of Chinese foreign enterprises are: the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures (EJVs), Sino-Foreign Co-operative Joint Ventures (CJVs), Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (WFOE), although they do not strictly belong to Joint Ventures, plus foreign investment companies limited by shares (FICLBS), and Investment Companies through Foreign Investors (ICFI).

It is incorporated in both Chinese (official) and in English (with equal validity), with limited liability. Prior to China's entry into WTO – and thus the WFOEs – EJVs predominated. In the EJV mode, the partners share profits, losses, and risk in equal proportion to their respective contributions to the venture's registered capital. These escalate upwardly in the same proportion as the increase in registered capital. </p><p>The JV contract accompanied by the articles of association for the EJV are the two most fundamental legal documents of the project. The Articles mirror many of the provisions of the JV contract. In case of conflict the JV document has precedence. These documents are prepared at the same time as the feasibility report. There are also the ancillary documents (termed "offsets" in the US) covering know-how and trademarks and supply-of-equipment agreements. </p><p>The minimum equity is prescribed for investment truncated,<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> where the foreign equity and debt levels are:<sup id="cite_ref-test_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-test-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>Less than US$3 million, equity must constitute 70% of the investment;</li> <li>Between US$3 million and US$10 million, minimum equity must be US$2.1 million and at least 50% of the investment;</li> <li>Between US$10 million and US$30 million, minimum equity must be US$5 million and at least 40% of the investment;</li> <li>More than US$30 million, minimum equity must be US$12 million and at least 1/3 of the investment.</li></ul> <p>There are also intermediary levels. </p><p>The foreign investment in the total project must be at least 25%.

Co-operative enterprises are also called Contractual Operative Enterprises. </p><p>The CJVs may have a limited structure or unlimited – therefore, there are two versions. The limited-liability version is similar to the EJVs in status of permissions – the foreign investor provides the majority of funds and technology and the Chinese party provides land, buildings, equipment, etc. However, there are no minimum limits on the foreign partner which allows him to be a minority shareholder. </p><p>The other format of the CJV is similar to a partnership where the parties jointly incur unlimited liability for the debts of the enterprise with no separate legal person being created. In both the cases, the status of the formed enterprise is that of a legal Chinese person which can hire labor directly as, for example, a Chinese national contactor. The minimum of the capital is registered at various levels of investment. </p><p>Other differences from the EJV are to be noted: </p> <ul><li>A Co-operative JV does not have to be a legal entity.</li> <li>The partners in a CJV are allowed to share profit on an agreed basis, <i>not necessarily in proportion to capital contribution</i>. This proportion also determines the control and the risks of the enterprise in the same proportion.</li> <li>It may be possible to operate in a CJV in a restricted area</li> <li>A CJV could allow negotiated levels of management and financial control, as well as methods of recourse associated with equipment leases and service contracts. In an EJV management control is through allocation of Board seats.<sup id="cite_ref-chinabusinessreview.com_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chinabusinessreview.com-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>During the term of the venture, the foreign participant can recover his investment, provided the contract prescribes that and all fixed assets will become the property of the Chinese participant on termination of the JV.</li> <li>Foreign partners can often obtain the desired level of control by negotiating management, voting, and staffing rights into a CJV's articles; since control does not have to be allocated according to equity stakes.</li></ul> <p>Convenience and flexibility are the characteristics of this type of investment. It is therefore easier to find co-operative partners and to reach an agreement. </p><p>With changes in the law, it becomes possible to merge with a Chinese company for a quick start. A foreign investor does not need to set up a new corporation in China. Instead, the investor uses the Chinese partner's business license, under a contractual arrangement. However, under the CJV, the land stays in the possession of the Chinese partner. </p><p>There is another advantage: the percentage of the CJV owned by each partner can change throughout the JV's life, giving the option to the foreign investor, by holding higher equity, obtains a faster rate of return with the concurrent wish of the Chinese partner of a later larger role of maintaining long-term control. </p><p>The parties in any of the ventures, EJV, CJV or WFOE prepare a <a href="/wiki/Feasibility_study" title="Feasibility study">feasibility study</a> outlined above.
