Holding Investment Company Companies in Malaysia

A holding company is a company that owns other companies' outstanding stock. A holding company usually does not produce goods or services itself; rather, its purpose is to own shares of other companies to form a corporate group. In Malaysia, holding companies are regulated by the Companies Act 1965.

There are many reasons why a company might choose to set up a holding company. For example, a holding company can be used to manage a group of companies, to simplify the ownership structure of a group of companies, or to save on taxes.

A holding company can also be used as a tool to protect the assets of the companies it owns. For example, if one of the companies in the group goes bankrupt, the assets of the other companies in the group will not be at risk.

Setting up a holding company is a complex process, and it is important to seek professional advice to ensure that all the legal and tax requirements are met.
