This is because of the interest that your company holds directly or indirectly in an investment holding company, which means your firm may qualify as an investment holding company. To assess whether your firm does indeed qualify as an investment holding company, we request you to complete the step-by-step guide and submit it with your application. While completing the step-by-step guide, if you come to the conclusion that your firm qualifies as an investment holding company, then we ask you to provide the additional documentation and assessment forms for directors and supervisory board members of the investment holding company.
