Holding company
A holding company is a parent entity that owns stakes in other businesses rather than producing goods or services itself. It provides capital, governance, and support to the companies it owns, while each operating business runs under its own management. The model separates ownership at the top from day-to-day operation below.

The parent sets direction and provides stability and support, while the businesses beneath it stay focused on serving their customers. It is a long-established way for one owner to hold several businesses while letting each keep its own identity and leadership.
