VIDEO: What Is Holding Company

Owning multiple businesses can feel a lot like managing several rental apartments scattered across the city. One is in Ikeja, another in Victoria Island, and a third all the way in Lekki. Each has its own tenants, bills, and maintenance issues. Before you know it, you’re running around with keys in your pocket, signing contracts, and trying to remember which plumber is fixing which leak.

That’s what it’s like when you run separate ventures. On paper, it works, but it’s messy. Taxes pile up, investors dislike the scattered structure, and if one unit runs into trouble, you’re left scrambling.

In this video, you’ll learn what a holding company is, the types, and how it is different from an operational company.
