Let’s say I started this company, whose main purpose is to invest and/or own other companies. For instance, BG enterprise is the company and let’s say it owns a “main-stream” blog, real estate company, and a flea market, what would BG enterprise be considered ***?? Could it be considered a venture capital firm, an investment firm, or what? Remember the main purpose of bg enterprise would be to own or invest in other companies..

A great example of a company like this is Berkshire ****?haway; they either own or invest in a wide range of companies including Florsheims, ****?a Cola, various Newspapers, GEICO, other insurance firms, etc… The main purpose of the company is to purchase (buy entire company) or invest (primarily by buying shares) in undervalued companies.
Berkshire ****?haway is usually described ***? a “Diversified Company” or ocassionally ***? a “Conglomerate”.
