Before you set up your joint venture arrangement, decide what exactly it is that you want to accomplish from the project. Are you looking to access additional information and resources, do you want to tap into new markets that your potential joint venture partner is already tapped in to, are you looking to extend your marketing reach? What is it that you hope to accomplish? By having a defined target at which to aim, you are more likely to hit the "bulls-eye" and create a winning joint venture plan.

Let's use an example of an inventor looking to bring an innovative product to market. Normally, an inventor will not have the resources and distribution channels needed to mass-produce his product. Thinking creatively, the inventor decides to research manufacturing companies with capabilities he believes are needed to produce his product. By joint venturing with the manufacturing company, the inventor now has access to additional funds, production resources, and distribution channels that could take months or even years to develop on his own. The manufacturing company has acquired a new product to provide to its existing and potential customer base, thereby potentially creating an additional stream of revenue. However, both parties have retained their autonomy in regards to how the profit share is utilized on behalf of each joint venture entity.
