A holding company is one created to buy shares of other companies. These companies then become subsidiaries of the holding company. This legal structure serves many purposes, one of which is to protect assets. Valuable assets owned by the holding company are protected from liabilities incurred by the subsidiaries. This also allows the subsidiaries to take added risk and diversify in more efficient ways, which in turn gives them the freedom to undertake larger projects.
Furthermore, a holding company can be structured creatively to reduce the tax burden of the holdings as a group. Centrally controlling assets can be a benefit, too. A holding company can provide a cohesive management strategy to the subsidiaries that maximizes all their growth.
Finally, a holding company can be an important asset in succession planning. Key-person events that affect the subsidiaries have far less impact, as the board of directors of the holding company can ensure continuity and a smooth transition.
