In joint ventures and syndicates, individuals or businesses cooperate to create a single product or service package. A joint venture is a partnership agreement in which two or more individual- or group-run businesses join together to carry out a single business project.

For example, U.S.-based General Motors Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation, based in Japan, have a joint venture called New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc., created for the purpose of producing cars in California.

A syndicate is an association of individuals or corporations formed to conduct a specific financial transaction such as buying a business. Quite often syndicates are created for the purpose of buying sports franchises.

For example, the Miami Heat basketball team and the New York Yankees baseball team are each owned by syndicates of individuals. Each member of these syndicates is also involved in the operation of other businesses.
