We assess whether it makes sense for you to set up a holding company, i.e. a company that owns the shares of your operating company. If it does, we set it up and handle the notifications.
A holding company is a company whose main purpose is to own shares in other companies or other assets. Typically, the entrepreneur owns the holding company, which in turn owns the actual operating company.
The structure can, for example, separate business risks from accumulated assets and make investing or ownership arrangements easier. However, it adds administration and bookkeeping and does not suit everyone. Tax effects are always assessed case by case.
Who is the service for? Owners of limited companies whose company is building up assets or who are planning ownership arrangements.

Can an existing company be moved under a holding company?
Yes, for example through a share exchange: the holding company receives the shares of the existing company and issues its own shares in return. The arrangement involves tax rules that are reviewed before it goes ahead.
