A holding company is a type of business entity that primarily exists to own and manage shares in other companies rather than engaging in direct business operations. Its main purpose is to control and manage subsidiaries, allowing for consolidated management and potential tax benefits. Holding companies can provide strategic advantages, such as risk management and diversified investment portfolios, while also facilitating easier acquisition and financing processes.
