Wholly owned subsidiaries are companies that are completely owned by another parent company, meaning the parent holds 100% of the subsidiary's shares. In contrast, non-wholly owned subsidiaries are partially owned by the parent company, which may hold a majority or minority stake, while other investors or entities own the remaining shares. This distinction affects management control, financial reporting, and the degree of integration between the parent and subsidiary.
