joint venture JV

A joint venture is a business relationship in which two or more persons combine their labor or property for a single undertaking and share profits and losses equally, or as otherwise agreed.

Additional Information


General liability policies normally do not cover liability arising from joint ventures unless they are scheduled as an insured. A manuscript endorsement can sometimes be added to handle this exposure. Otherwise, specific coverage arrangements must be made whenever the insured becomes involved in a joint venture.
