Holding Company Structures

We are capable of assisting you in establishing a holding company structure that is well-suited for effectively managing an expanded portfolio

What is a Holding Company structure?

A holding company is a parent company created to own and control multiple other companies, known as subsidiaries. Individual shareholders hold shares in the holding company, which in turn is the 100% shareholder of each subsidiary company.

For buy-to-let investments, the subsidiary companies work in a similar way to stand-alone limited companies - each one is an SPV that contains one property only.

Stand-alone limited companies are typically used by those looking to own a small number of properties due to their simpler structure. 

For investors looking to build a large property portfolio, a holding company structure helps consolidate rental income across multiple properties.

GetGround Holding Company Shareholder Structure

The GetGround Holding Company is incorporated with 1,000 ordinary shares at £0.10 each. Each subsidiary is incorporated with 100 ordinary shares at £1 each.

Up to 8 individuals can own shares in the holding company and in turn, the holding company is the 100% owner in all subsidiary companies. 

You can update the shareholder structure of a holding company at any time. 

If you wish to sell shares in a subsidiary company, please note that the sale must transfer 100% of the shares — subsidiaries cannot be partially sold.

Adding subsidiaries to a holding company?

When you create a holding company through GetGround, you will also need to design the first subsidiary at the same time. Once you have inputted all your details, we will get both companies incorporated for you. 

Once the incorporation is complete, you can then add as many subsidiaries as you wish. 

 Can I migrate a stand-alone limited company to a holding company structure?

Moving stand-alone limited companies into a holding company structure can involve complex legal restructuring. This is not something we currently offer at GetGround; however, we are actively exploring it as a future addition to our service. If you have questions, please contact our support team.
