business alliance
Joint commercial venture
A business alliance is a formal arrangement between companies to pursue shared objectives while remaining independent entities.
Unlike mergers, alliances preserve separate ownership: The two airlines formed a business alliance to share routes and frequent flyer programs.
Alliances may involve joint ventures, licensing agreements, or coordinated marketing efforts.
