Set Up a Joint Venture

Partner with a Taiwan company to enter regulated sectors, share local expertise, or combine foreign technology with domestic distribution.

When a Joint Venture makes sense

Joint Ventures bring together a foreign investor and a Taiwan partner within a single new entity. They are appropriate where foreign investment restrictions apply, where local distribution provides a competitive advantage, or where the Taiwan partner contributes meaningful assets such as a plant, customer base, or brand.

We support partner selection, structure the joint venture agreement, and manage the incorporation and filings from start to finish.

Equity vs. Contractual JVs

  • Equity JV (EJV) — profits shared in proportion to equity contribution. Most common structure.
  • Contractual JV (CJV) — flexible profit and control distribution, defined by contract. Useful for asymmetric contributions.

Board composition, reserved matters, profit repatriation and exit rights are all defined in the JV agreement — getting these right up front prevents 90% of future disputes.

How we run a JV formation

  • Due diligence on the prospective Taiwan partner
  • Term sheet preparation and negotiation support
  • Joint venture agreement, articles of association, and supporting documents
