Modeling a Multi-Entity Holding Structure

Equipath supports hierarchical entity structures, allowing you to model holding companies with subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries.

Setting Up the Structure

1. Create the parent entity (e.g., the holding company) first.
2. Create each subsidiary entity, assigning the parent entity in the Parent Entity field.
3. Repeat for any sub-subsidiaries, assigning the intermediate parent.

Viewing the Structure

Use the Entity Graph view to visualize your holding structure as a tree diagram. This shows ownership percentages, entity types, and jurisdictions at a glance.

Compliance Considerations

Each entity in the structure maintains its own compliance records. Parent entities do not automatically inherit subsidiary compliance obligations.

However, you can use the Dashboard to get a consolidated view of overdue and upcoming filings across all entities in your organization.

Tax Consolidated Groups

For tax purposes, you can designate entities as part of a consolidated filing group. This is configured under each entity's Tax Classification settings.

Tip: Keep entity names consistent with their legal names as filed in each jurisdiction to avoid confusion during audits.
