Holding company

A holding company is a company or firm that owns other companies' outstanding stock. The term usually refers to a company which does not produce goods or services itself; rather, its purpose is to own shares of other companies. Holding companies allow the reduction of risk for the owners and can allow the ownership and control of a number of different companies. In the United States, 80% or more of stock, in voting and value, must be owned before tax consolidation benefits such as tax-free dividends can be claimed.[1] Type of business organization that allows a firm (called parent) and its directors to control or influence other firms (called subsidiaries). This arrangement makes venturing outside one's core industry possible and, under certain conditions, to benefit from tax consolidation, sharing of operating losses, and ease of divestiture. The legal definition of a holding company varies with the legal system. Some require holding of a majority (80 percent) or the entire (100 percent) voting shares of the subsidiary whereas other require as little as five percent. A holding company is a company that doesnt have any operations, activities, or other active business. Instead, it owns assets. These assets can be shares of stock in other corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, private equity funds, hedge funds, publicly traded stocks, bonds, real estate, song rights, brand names, patents, trademarks, copyrights, or virtually anything else that has value.

A Sample Holding Company

To understand the concept better, imagine that you and I decided we wanted to invest together. We, and members of our family, create a new company called Blue Sky Holding Company, Inc. We file the paperwork with the secretary of state and pay the fees. Then, we issue 1 million shares of stock at $10 per share, raising $10 million in fresh cash. We vote on a Board of Directors, hire one of us as CEO, and build an office.
