What is a Holding Company?
A holding company or ‘umbrella’ company is a type of financial institution that serves one purpose: to hold controlling stock in other companies.
There are two ways a holding company acquires control over a startup or business. They can gain enough shares in the company or create a corporation from the ground up. The holding company then becomes the parent company and the one being acquired a subsidiary.
