Structuring multiple businesses (holding company & subsidiaries)
guideExplains the general shape of a holding-company structure — a parent entity that owns one or more operating subsidiaries — and why owners use it: isolating liability between separate ventures, and centralizing shared ownership. Actually forming each layer uses the same formation guides and templates already in Nomos (an LLC or corporation guide for each entity), applied more than once.
Good fit for
- +An owner running more than one business who wants to isolate liability between them (so one venture's lawsuit or debt doesn't threaten the others)
- +Understanding the general shape of parent/subsidiary structures before deciding if the added complexity and cost is worth it
Not ideal for
- −A single, simple business with no plans to separate multiple ventures — the added formation and accounting complexity isn't worth it yet
- −Skipping a tax professional's input — multi-entity structures have real tax consequences that a generic guide can't address for your specific situation
