Joint Venture

The benefits of a joint venture
When a joint venture is formed via Find That Money, the resulting partnership has a number of very attractive benefits. In addition to the benefit that the extra cash can provide to a startup or expansion, joint ventures can have other positive effects on a business:
• A joint venture provides a company with the opportunity explore other business avenues, to branch out into related areas, to expand into new locations or to obtain new technological and marketing knowledge.
• Because they are usually only short-term business endeavors, joint ventures do not represent risks of long-term commitments.
• Joint ventures offer companies a way to change the direction of their business strategy. Since the vast majority of joint ventures result in one partner selling off to the other, this becomes an investment strategy for moving a company in a different business philosophy.
• Joint ventures can provide companies with the ability to increase capacity and add expertise via the new partnership team.

Since Find That Money is the world’s largest financial community for business people and investors, using this powerful resource offers all parties the ability to seek out acceptable business partners for starting a joint venture.
Drawbacks of a joint venture for investors
The negatives of a joint venture for investors are few; however, there are several things to consider before entering such a business agreement:
• Potential liability from the joint venture. Since this agreement associates the entrepreneur and the investor, there is an assumed liability for both parties. This risk can be limited by screening prospective partners.
• Failure of the joint venture and loss of the investment. If the joint venture does not succeed, the investor can lose even more than the original investment amount.
Drawbacks of a joint venture for entrepreneurs
While there are potential negative occurrences for an investor, there are likewise potential problems for the entrepreneur as well. These issues can include:
• The entrepreneur does not have full control of the business decisions in a joint venture. Joint ventures also mean joint decision-making. This should be addressed prior to entering into an agreement to assure the parties understand their respective roles.
• Financial problems incurred by the investor can affect the joint venture. This should also be considered before the joint venture is started.

Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? - Hi Alan, Welcome to the forum! [quote="Joint Venture":2bfdqwzb]Total transparency is a must when JVing with someone.[/quote:2bfdqwzb] What about when inviting people to send you their proposals...? Cheers, David H
Don't leave your Wallet on the table - Targetzone, Evan has great points on targeting you package. Also I read the revenue model you mentioned and i believe you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Aisde from making just $15/sale of a package you could also be making income from sales generated after the people use the coupon on their second and ongoing visits to the Service/Product company. I've sent you a PM - We can talk more advanced strategies. BTW - I'm a Dollarmakers Member and have taken the Joint Venture BootCamp 101 and highly recommend it if you wish to pursue this idea. PM me privately and we can talk.
Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? - [quote="Joint Venture":3738ldxh][quote="Ringo":3738ldxh]1) Credentials? Any website? Any client list? 2) Where do you get your staff from? How? I mean if i really am going to hand over a lot of sensitive information to be handled by staff of your choosing, I'll need to know how you operate with total transparency.[/quote:3738ldxh] Ringo, 1) Send me an email with your proposal and if I like it I shall disclose all that your need. 2) That's my USP! Total transparency is a must when JVing with someone. Let me know your proposal and we may discuss it. In regards to staff dealing with your sensitive information, compartmentalize the data. Have different teams deal with only a section of the whole picture. [quote="ideasuniversity":3738ldxh]How long have you been doing this? And what are your success rate?[/quote:3738ldxh] Joint venturing? I have done JVs before and had good success. This JV? Brand new. New source of staff. Success rate? I've made a good bit money! [quote="Trent Brownrigg":3738ldxh]This same person posted this exact same post several times at another forum I moderate. Now, he is posting it here as his very first post. I consider that to be a spammer![/quote:3738ldxh] I consider it being proactive! Sorry if I have stepped on anyone's toes. Not my intentions. Look forward to reading more of your emails, Alan[/quote:3738ldxh] Let have your website.

Look forward to reading more of your emails, Alan[/quote:1ofoz1sm] Well, I will give you credit for at least coming back here and replying. But just an fyi that you will be seen as a spammer if you post the same thing on a bunch of different forums, especially if you post it more than once on any one forum. You should be careful about that because a lot of people are members of the same forums.
