Holdingcég

Holdingcég is a Hungarian term that translates to "holding company" in English. A holding company is a parent corporation that owns a controlling interest in the shares of other companies, which are known as subsidiaries. The primary purpose of a holding company is not to produce goods or services itself, but rather to manage its investments in other companies. This structure allows for diversification of risk and can offer tax advantages.

Holding companies typically do not engage in the day-to-day operations of their subsidiaries. Instead, they oversee the strategic direction, financial management, and corporate governance of the companies they control. This separation can provide operational autonomy to the subsidiary companies, allowing them to focus on their specific markets and business activities. The holding company's revenue is derived from dividends, interest, and capital gains from its subsidiaries, as well as management fees.

There are different types of holding companies. A pure holding company only owns shares in other companies and has no business operations of its own. A mixed holding company, on the other hand, may also engage in its own business activities in addition to holding shares in other companies. The legal framework and tax implications for holding companies can vary significantly by jurisdiction, making them a complex but often effective tool for corporate structuring and investment.
