What is understood from the question is that the other company, which shares the same trade name, acts as a bank in providing financing. If it does so in a -compliant manner, such as through Murabaha (cost-plus financing) for the one who orders the purchase, with its Sharia-stipulated conditions, then there is no issue with its permissibility. However, if it provides loans with interest, as a usurious bank does, then the transaction is prohibited. The first company's ownership of half of the financed company does not affect this ruling.
