Incorporating a holding company means creating a separate corporation that is mainly used to own assets, such as shares in other companies, real estate, intellectual property, or long-term investments, instead of carrying out daily business operations. Unlike an operating company that sells products or services, a holding company is usually set up to control and manage ownership of valuable assets. Many business owners use a holding company to keep important assets separate from business risks, create a clearer ownership structure, support tax planning, and make it easier to manage multiple businesses or investments under one entity.
