Action Checklist Study any joint venture you might set up carefully. Obtain as much information from as many sources as you can before committing to an expensive joint-venture agreement. Plan it carefully and set up a realistic business plan with your business partner.
Know your market and make sure that you have analyzed the consequences for your own business of entering into a jointventure agreement.
Economize by negotiating a reasonable rate with your legal advisers, but remember that it is better to incur costs by obtaining legal advice than to enter into a joint venture under terms that you do not understand.
* Involve your solicitors in the evaluation of both the risks and potential benefits of entering into a joint venture. * Negotiate your rates and make a contingency plan for any cost over-run. Plan carefully how the joint-venture will operate, how the profits will be distributed and who will take responsibility for what.
