A Non-Equity Strategic Alliance Agreement is a document used by two individuals or businesses who would like to join their efforts for a period of time to share resources, clients, and/or services to further both of their business interests. This alliance allows the parties to work together to realize a greater benefit from their combined efforts than what they would be able to achieve working alone. The alliance often involves sharing technology, services, expenses, losses, and eventually profits. By working together using a Non-Equity Strategic Alliance Agreement, the parties can create a competitive advantage in the market over other businesses in the same field.
This alliance is more informal than a Joint Venture Agreement, which involves two entities agreeing to work together to create a new company that will pursue a project together in furtherance of their shared business interests. With a strategic alliance, the parties will work together without forming a new business together. This alliance is also distinct from a Collaboration Agreement, where two businesses arrange to buy equity, or investment, in the other's business in the course of working together. Though they are not creating a new business entirely, the parties will have an ownership interest in each other's business. By using a Non-Equity Strategic Alliance Agreement, the parties will arrange to work together but will not have any ownership interest in each other's businesses. This type of arrangement is both the most informal and the most common of the above-mentioned business partnerships.
Using this document, the parties will be able to come together to grow their businesses while also clearly outlining their expectations of how the alliance will proceed.
