Similarly, the two arrangements, by themselves, are not typically subject to securities laws or franchise tax.

Although a JV is a partnership in the colloquial sense of the word, it can be formed using any legal structure: Corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and other business entities can all be employed.

The parties to the joint venture must be at least a combination of two natural persons or entities. The parties may contribute capital, labor, assets, skill, experience, knowledge, or other resources useful for the single enterprise or project. The creation of a joint venture is a matter of facts specific to each case.
