Joint Venture questions

Joint Venture questions

Hi,

If this isn't the right place to put this, I apologize in advance.

I am thinking about wholesaling and thought of JV with an investor. Questions just came to my head and can't seem to find answers.

We both are investing as individuals, no company.
If we get into an agreement;

1. Do we need to register this JV as a business in the State we are operating in?

2. Do we need to register a "DBA" (Doing Business As) name?

I saw a few samples of JV Agreements and some don't mention anything about business name and then there's one that says

Name of Joint Venture. The business and affairs of the Joint Venture shall be conducted solely and at all times under the name of "____________________."

Anyone who actually did JV before, can you advise?

Thank you
