Operating a separate business via a Division of Company

Hi Friends

We are in the business of Construction Chemicals. Our Pvt LTd company has 2 separate divisions, 

1)      Distribution of Construction Chemicals  (eg Waterproofing)

2)      Application of Construction Chemicals

However, this creates a conflict of interest in our business – we end up competing with our own clients when we quote for application jobs.

We are suggested to separate the 2 divisions and operate through 2 different companies. However we do not wish to increase our compliance burdens.


Is there any other way by starting a division under the main company, that we can do the 2nd business.  Most critical point is that clients / competitors should not know that the division belongs to which company viz. keep the main pvt ltd company name hidden in all communication done by the division.

If not possible, any other suggestions on this is most welcome.
