What is a 'holding company'?
A holding company, like Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd, is a parent company that owns shares in other companies. It often doesn't produce goods or services itself but controls the management and operations of its subsidiaries. This structure can offer financial and legal benefits, centralising control over different parts of a business empire.
