A Private Equity Firm buys companies, and sells them over a span of time.

A Holding Company buys companies, and holds them for an indefinite amount of time, AND can also sell them over a span fo time if the opportunity arises.

So a HoldCo has the option to hold companies permanently and/or sell them. But a PE firm is limited to just selling the company.

So is there really any advantage to opening a PE firm, when you could open a HoldCo and have more freedom and options?

Whats the advantage or difference in opening a PE firm, when eveything in a PE firm can be done in a Hold Co?
