Can my Uzbek LLC own other companies?

Short answer

Yes — subsidiaries, stakes and branches are all provided for.

StakesParticipation is a right — the company may found or join other legal entities (LLC Law, Art. 3 — lex.uz ↗)
SubsidiaryControl makes it a дочернее — a dominant stake or decision control creates a subsidiary; above 20% of votes, a dependent company (LLC Law, Art. 7 — lex.uz ↗)
No crossCross-holdings are barred — a subsidiary cannot hold a share in its parent, and a dependent company cannot hold shares in its holder (LLC Law, Art. 7 — lex.uz ↗)
BranchesIts own outposts — created by the general meeting; they are not legal persons and the company answers for them (LLC Law, Art. 6 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

An Uzbek LLC can be a holding: participating in other legal entities is written into its legal position, and the law defines the layers — a subsidiary where the company dominates the capital or can determine decisions, a dependent company above twenty per cent of the votes. Cross-ownership is cut off in both directions, and a parent that gives its subsidiary binding instructions answers jointly for the deals done on them; culpably driving a subsidiary insolvent brings subsidiary liability. (LLC Law, Art. 7 — lex.uz ↗)

One structural ceiling sits above all of it: the one-person-chain rule. A company whose sole shareholder is itself a one-person company cannot be the sole founder of the next one — except where that sole shareholder is a single-shareholder JSC. Branches and representative offices, meanwhile, are the company’s own limbs rather than separate persons, created by the general meeting and listed in the state register. (LLC Law, Arts. 6, 8 — lex.uz ↗)
