A Representative Office is a foreign company’s liaison office in another country. It cannot engage in direct commercial activities such as sales or profit generation. Its primary functions are market research, promotion, and communication.
It is often a low-cost, low-risk option for foreign companies exploring a market without a full operational presence.
A Branch Office is a fully operational extension of the parent company in another country. It can engage in business activities, including sales and services, but is legally considered part of the parent company. The branch is not a separate legal entity and the parent company assumes full liability for the branch’s operations.
A Subsidiary is a separate legal entity formed by the parent company, usually with its legal structure (e.g., corporation, limited liability company).
It can operate independently from the parent company, although it is owned by the parent company. A subsidiary can conduct all business activities, including sales, and is responsible for its own taxes and legal obligations.
