Because of the large capital requirements and the high entrepreneurial risk in this phase of industrialization, some large industrial companies founded, in conjunction with banks and other financiers, subsidiaries without any operational business, which exclusively served the purpose of participating in other companies (mostly through bonds ). So founded z. B. the AEG 1894 the society for electrical companies (Gesfürel) , 1895 the bank for electrical companies ("Elektrobank") and the electricity supply company (ELG) .
