Tips for Establishing a Profitable Joint Venture Relationships

 A good joint venture brings profits and success to both sides, achieving for both partners things they couldn't have done on their own. But when a joint venture goes bad, it can cause a great deal of resentment and waste of time and resources for both.

The key to a successful joint venture is a strong relationship between both parties involved. Here are 10 tips for establishing that relationship.

1. Start Off on the Right Foot

Start your joint venture with a small, easy project that you feel can't possibly fail. This will get your relationship off to a good start.

You'll learn to work with each other through a relatively easy project so that you'll start the second project with confidence.

2. Create a Win-Win-Win Situation

A good joint venture is a win-win-win situation. This is one where you benefit, your partner benefits, and your customers benefit.

When both sides of the venture feel that they're benefitting, this prevents one side from feeling resentment because they're not getting enough out of the deal.

3. Matching Passion and Enthusiasm

Another area where you should be on the same page is in your enthusiasm. You both need the same level of passion and commitment to the joint venture.

If one partner starts to lose steam for the venture over time, this can cause problems.


4. Emphasize Your Strengths

In an ideal joint venture, each partner contributes valuable skills that the other either lacks or is deficient in.

This situation fosters a good relationship because, like the win-win-win situation, both sides recognize the unique skills of the other. Each side knows they couldn't do it alone.

5. Get It in Writing

Every detail of your agreement should be written down, preferably in a formal contract, but at least in email correspondences.

It's important to have the details all clearly defined. If there is anything vague, this could be a source of mis-communication that could damage your relationship.

6. Think Long-Term

From the very beginning of your partnership, look to the distant future. Make every decision with a view of how it will affect your joint venture in the long-term. Consider future effects on your relationship.

7. Communicate Regularly

Every member of the joint venture should meet on a regular basis, face-to-face if possible. Even if there is no pressing business and things seem to be going fine, these meetings are a key part of building a strong relationship.

8. Build Trust

Avoid entering into joint ventures with parties you do not fully trust. If trust is an issue, limit the scope of the venture at the beginning and gradually expand it as you get to know one another.

9. Stay Flexible

Once you get your joint venture off the ground, it should run like a well-oiled machine. However, don't get stuck in your ways.

Stay flexible and regularly review the roles of both parties to try to find better ways of doing business.

10. Establish Protocols

Establish clear protocols from the beginning for changing your agreement or dissolving the joint venture.

In the case of dissolving the venture, clear protocols to follow make the process much smoother and fairer.

Conclusion

It's inevitable that disagreements occur within a joint venture. When there is a disagreement, approach it with open communication.

Try to reach solutions that benefit both sides and not only yourself.

If you've built a good, solid relationship with your joint venture partner through the above tips, disagreements will just be bumps in the road and not train wrecks.
