Business Relationship
As businesses expand they may buy shares in other companies, or join with other companies for a particular purpose. There are different relationships these companies can have with one another. A group is a number of subsidiary companies operating under one leading company known as the parent company. A subsidiary is a company that is half or wholly owned by another company (the parent company).
A holding company is one that holds all, or more than half of, the stakes in one or more subsidiaries. It is the leading company in a group.
A holding company's relationship to its subsidiaries is that of parent company, and the subsidiaries' relationship to each other is that of sister companies. The parent company controls its subsidiaries through its capital interests.
A conglomerate is a group consisting of a lot of different companies in different businesses run as one large company.
When two or more companies decide to work together, they form a joint venture. In such cases, the two companies involved remain separate legal entities.
A consortium is a group of companies which come together to undertake a project which any one of the members cannot carry out alone.
