JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT:
A joint venture agreement provides a contract for two or more individuals or entities to form a business relationship suitable for a single project or purpose.
There are TWO FORMS of joint venture:
GENERAL PARTNERSHIP and CONTRACTUAL JOINT VENTURE.
In our case we will discuss a contractual joint venture that is tax transparent where there is no pooling of profits or losses and no formal registration requirements. Further, there may be limited liability provided the joint venture is not deemed a partnership. Where the relationship amounts to a partnership, two or more persons carrying on a business in common with a view to profit, then general partnership rules would apply to each member.
Ten typical key words or expressions of this type of contract:
AGREEMENT (contratto), ENTITIES ("persone giuridiche"), BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP (rapporto commerciale), PURPOSE (scopo), TAX TRANSPARENT (fiscalmente trasparente), PROFITS (profitti), LIMITED LIABILITY (responsabilità limitata), BUSINESS IN COMMON (attività commerciale in comune), VIEW TO PROFIT (scopo di lucro), GENERAL PARTNERSHIP (società in nome collettivo).
Verb+preposition in the text:
CARRYING ON (mandare o portare avanti).

A partnership agreement is a contract between partners in a partnership which sets out the terms and conditions of the relationship between the partners, including:

•Percentages of ownership and distribution of profits and losses

•Description of management powers and duties of each partner

•Term (length) of the partnership

•How the partnership can be terminated

•How a partner can buy his/her share of the partnership.
A partnership agreement should be prepared by an attorney so as to include all important "what if" questions and avoid problems when the partnership ends.
