In some instances, suppliers may consider working with the customer to establish a joint venture subsidiary. Some examples include:
- Call centres servicing the owner's requirements and being expanded to take on other companies' requirements
- Development companies completing work for the owner and projects for other companies.
The key advantages of a joint venture are the reduction in capital outlay and associated reduction in risks.
Joint Ventures may be optionally 'graduated'; that is to say, the partners may agree a sliding scale of ownership over time, such that the one partner may decide to buy the other out against a pre-agreed set of milestones.
Points To Consider
- Is the company prepared to share management and control?
- Exit / buyout strategy
- Investment required
- Split of legal responsibilities.
