## Definition

A company exclusively dedicated to the acquisition, holding, management and sale of venture capital investments, in the form of shares, shares in a limited liability company, limited partnership shares, participation as a general partner or as a silent partner. Via and through the holding company, access to the financial markets is to be opened indirectly for non-listed companies. On the other hand, the investing public can indirectly participate in such - usually small and medium-sized - companies via the holding company. In Germany, a separate law on holding companies from 1998 regulates the business activities of a holding company. - A UBG should not be confused with a financial holding company, although this is often enough the case. - See investment company, explorer values, financial holding, investment fund, alternative, holding, incubator, innovation fund, venture capital, seed capital.
