Document background
The Simple Joint Venture Agreement is a fundamental document used when two or more entities wish to collaborate on a business venture while maintaining their separate legal identities under Swiss law. This agreement type is particularly relevant for businesses seeking to combine resources, expertise, and market access without creating a fully merged entity. The document addresses key aspects required by Swiss legislation, including the Swiss Code of Obligations and relevant commercial laws. It typically includes provisions for capital contributions, profit sharing, management structure, voting rights, and operational procedures. The agreement is especially useful for international partnerships leveraging Switzerland's stable business environment and well-established legal framework. When drafting a Simple Joint Venture Agreement, particular attention must be paid to Swiss competition law, corporate governance requirements, and industry-specific regulations that may apply to the venture.
