1.How do I begin the process of becoming a JVP business?
To begin, please complete the “Contact Us” form (Contact Us – Joint Venture Program). After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation receipt, and a member of our staff will contact you within 3–5 business days.
2.What are some immediate steps I can take while awaiting an assigned JVP staff member?
While you wait to be connected with a JVP staff member, we encourage that you begin to verify and gather the necessary documents to ensure timely processing of your application. Some important steps you may want to take include:
- Verify with the Secretary of State that you are registered and eligible to conduct official business in the State of California. If not, please complete this process.
- Prepare a professional Business Plan providing an overview of your business, detailing the type of work to be performed, how the business operates daily, including staffing, technology, and resources.
- Review the associated site map of all available state institutions to determine the best locality to oversee and manage your operations based on geographical needs.
- Begin recruiting an onsite supervisor to manage your daily operations. All company personnel accessing the institution will undergo a background clearance, so we highly recommend starting this process now.
3. What should I expect once I’m contacted by a JVP staff member?
A JVP staff member will reach out to schedule an introductory meeting. During this meeting, they will answer your questions, explain the process, and provide any support you need, helping you feel confident moving forward.
