Thank you so much for your responses Ben Legg Zarir 'Zed' Vakil and John Panczak; it was more practical help I was looking for – I should have specified – around how the formation actually works. My business partner and I both have our own ltd companies (where we are businesses of 1), so understand that basic process, but we didn’t know if there were any additional complexities or requirements with it being a JV, and with it being a subsidary of our two businesses (i.e. the directors being corporate entities, rather than individuals). Its a really small operation and we could have done this more informally; but our accountants both recommended this as the most efficient, transparent and risk-avoiding way of working, rather than one contracting from the other’s business etc.
