What is a Branch Office?

A branch office is a secondary location of your business that operates under your primary company's name and management.

Branch offices allow businesses to expand their geographical reach, serve customers in different locations, and tap into new markets while maintaining centralized control over operations.

Unlike subsidiaries, branch offices are not separate legal entities but extensions of your main company.
