What is a Special Purpose Vehicle?
A special purpose vehicle (SPV) is a subsidiary of a company which is protected from the parent company's financial risk. It is a legal entity created for a limited business acquisition or transaction, or it can be used as a funding structure. It is sometimes called a special purpose entity (SPE).
An SPV has assets, liabilities, and a legal status outside of the obligations of the parent company. The primary purpose of an SPV is to carry out a specific business activity outside of the parent company, therein protecting the parent company from risks such as bankruptcy and insolvency issues.
Why is a Special Purpose Vehicle Important?
SPVs are formed as limited partnerships, trusts, corporations, or limited liability companies. They adopt the legal protections of the particular business entity. An SPV is created for independent ownership, management, and funding of a company.
An SPV, for example, can be created to produce a lease that is expensed on the company's income statement rather than recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. An SPV allows companies to secure assets, isolate assets, create and invest in joint ventures, isolate corporate assets, and perform any other specific financial transactions.
