  Holding company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A holding company is a company that owns enough voting stock in another firm to control management and operations by influencing or electing its board of directors.
Holding companies allow the reduction of risk for the owners and can allow the ownership and control of a number of different companies.
Another large holding company of note is UAL Corporation, a publicly traded holding company whose only purpose is to wholly own United Airlines.

 Holding Company
Company profits are often subject to 'double taxation'- taxation first in the hands of the company which has earned or received the profits and again when the company distributes profits to shareholders.
In cases where it is desired to transfer assets to companies in offshore jurisdictions for holding or consolidation of ownership, a company incorporated in a zero-tax juridiction such as the Cayman Islands may be appropriate.
Such holding companies are often used for holding real estate as investments in countries such as the United Kingdom.
