What is a Holding Company in Italy?
A holding company is a legal entity that primarily exists to own and manage shares, assets, or investments in other companies. Unlike operational businesses, a holding company typically does not engage in day-to-day trading but instead oversees and controls other entities within its corporate group.
In Italy, holding companies can:
- Own shares in domestic and foreign companies.
- Hold and manage intellectual property rights such as trademarks and patents.
- Own and manage real estate and other investments.
