The joint venture structure is important as it defines how the joint venture will exist as a legal entity. Different types of structures will have different consequences for the parties, their legal rights and duties, and the liability to which they might be exposed if the venture fails. A company limited by shares is a company registered at under the Companiess Act, 2013 with share capital. An unincorporated joint venture, is a venture which is bound only by contract and does not constitute a separate legal entity. A limited liability partnership is a partnership which also has limited liability to restrict the partners' liability for losses incurred by the partnership. A general partnership is where parties agree to conduct business jointly and the partners are liable for the losses incurred by the business. If the joint venture is of a category different from the listed categories, please select Other.
