Parent company

Parent company

A parent company is a company that owns and controls one or more subsidiaries.

What is a parent company?

A parent company is a limited company that controls one or more subsidiaries, usually by owning more than half of the votes. Together they form a corporate group. A parent company that only owns shares is sometimes called a holding company.
