What this tool helps you do

Joint venture structuring FAQs

What does the Joint Venture & Partnership Structuring Tool do?

The free tool helps you organize a proposed business partnership, identify open questions about contributions, ownership, governance, intellectual property and exit, and prepare a negotiation checklist. It provides planning information, not legal advice.

Does the tool draft or review a joint venture agreement?

No. It creates a planning report from the answers you provide. It does not draft or review an agreement, choose a legal structure, or confirm that a proposed arrangement is suitable or compliant.

What should business partners discuss before committing?

Discuss the business purpose, each party's contributions, decision rights, funding, how returns will be shared, ownership and use of intellectual property, confidentiality, duration, exit rights, and how deadlocks or disputes will be handled. The checklist helps surface these topics for negotiation.

Does the tool determine which Nigerian or foreign laws apply?

No. The tool can record where the partnership will operate and highlight cross-border questions, but it does not determine governing law or local requirements. For Nigerian context, consult the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 and the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission's Investment Guide, then seek advice for your specific arrangement.

Can I use the tool if the partnership is already operating?

Yes. You can use it to organize the terms you currently rely on and identify questions to revisit. It does not review an existing agreement or determine your legal rights.
