The verdict in three sentences
For a holding company with 6 subsidiaries, a corporate website with an investor relations area costs EUR 7,600 to 18,300 (USD 8,300 to 20,000) in 2026 with a specialised remote agency, delivered in 8 to 10 weeks. The budget hinges on three items: the number of subsidiary pages, the depth of the investor area (annual reports, governance, announcements) and the security level. A premium European agency quotes a comparable scope at around EUR 25,000, often with longer timelines.
What the budget covers in 2026
Bankers, lenders and partners check a holding company's website before every meeting. They look for group structure, financials, governance and named contacts. Here is a typical breakdown for 6 subsidiaries.
| Item | 2026 range (EUR excl. tax) | Indicative timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy, group and subsidiary structure | 760 to 1,830 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Corporate design and multi-brand guidelines | 1,520 to 3,810 | 2 weeks |
| 6 subsidiary pages (business, figures, leaders) | 1,370 to 3,200 | 2 weeks |
| Investor relations area (reports, governance, calendar) | 1,830 to 4,270 | 2 weeks |
| Full second language | 910 to 2,290 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Hardened security (CSP, WAF, backups) | 610 to 1,520 | 1 week |
| CMS with approval before publishing | 610 to 1,370 | 1 week |
| Total | 7,600 to 18,300 | 8 to 10 weeks |
Managed hosting with CDN and monitoring costs EUR 40 to 115 per month, and maintenance EUR 115 to 185 per month for a site of this size.
Specialised remote agency or premium European agency: the comparison
Some boards instinctively hand the site to a Paris or London agency. Comparing the same scope is instructive.
| Criterion | Specialised remote agency | Premium European agency |
|---|---|---|
| Budget, 6-subsidiary holding site | EUR 7,600 to 18,300 | Around EUR 25,000 |
| Delivery time | 8 to 10 weeks | 12 to 16 weeks |
| Workshops | Video, plus on-site options | On-site or video, billed |
| Experience with emerging-market groups | Core focus | Varies |
| Payment | Staged in 3 instalments | Usually 50% upfront |
| Monthly maintenance | EUR 115 to 185 | EUR 300 to 800 |
The budget gap is often 30 to 60%, and the maintenance gap over 3 years exceeds EUR 6,000. The decisive criterion is still the quality of the agency's institutional references.
The investor relations area, the heart of the site
A credible investor area has five sections: group overview and shareholding chart, key figures over 3 to 5 years, downloadable annual reports and financial statements, governance (board, committees, auditors), announcements and financial calendar. For sensitive documents, a login-protected zone lets you share information memoranda with a short list of banks.
A second language is not a luxury: development finance institutions, investment funds and regional partners may read first in another language. Budget for professional translation of the reports, not only the pages.

Wei Ling, company secretary of a Singapore holding company with 6 subsidiaries (logistics, agribusiness, real estate, distribution, construction, services), compares two offers. A premium European agency proposes EUR 25,000 with a 14-week timeline and EUR 450 monthly maintenance. A specialised agency proposes EUR 14,500 in 9 weeks with EUR 185 maintenance.
Over 3 years, the European option totals about 25,000 + 16,200 = EUR 41,200, versus 14,500 + 6,660 = EUR 21,160 for the specialised agency. The saving is about EUR 20,000, nearly half, with the site live 5 weeks earlier for the group's planned fundraising.
FAQ
Do we need a separate site for each subsidiary?
Not at first. Six rich subsidiary pages on the holding site are enough in 80% of cases. Dedicated mini-sites then cost EUR 2,300 to 4,600 each.
Can financial statements be restricted?
Yes, with a login-protected zone and download tracking. This module adds EUR 900 to 1,800 to the budget.
How long for the second language?
Plan 1 to 2 weeks for 25 to 40 pages, plus translation time for annual reports if they are not already available.
What security level does a holding company need?
At minimum CSP headers, a web application firewall, daily backups and two-factor authentication on the CMS. Security represents 5 to 10% of the project.
Is the quoted price fixed?
The EUR 7,600 to 18,300 ranges are 2026 orders of magnitude. The final quote depends on pages, languages and integrations, and becomes fixed after scoping.
