A: So I know that joint ventures are two companies joining forces for a time, but I'm still a little confused.

B: Well, a joint venture is a business agreement, the parties agree to develop for a finite time, a new entity and new assets.

A: Okay, but what do you mean by new entity, I don't understand business lingo.

B: A new entity is basically a new business.

A: So a joint venture is pretty much like the child of two different businesses, is that right?

B: Yeah, That's an interesting way to look at it.Yeah I guess so. The parent companies have control over the new enterprise.

A: I suppose the parent companies share all the responsibilities of the joint venture, They share the debt and the profits, right?

B: That's correct, They share revenues, which is the amount of money that comes in. They share expenses and assets too.
