Joint Ventures vs. Strategic Partnerships — What Network for Net Worth Members Use
A JV creates a new entity with shared ownership. A strategic partnership keeps each company independent. Pick wrong and you over- or under-protect.
Most professional collaborations don't need a new entity. A strategic partnership — a written cooperation agreement — is enough for referral exchanges, co-marketing, and bundled offerings. JVs make sense only when you're sharing meaningful capital, IP, or revenue.
