Foreign Company Branch
OUR STORY
Navigating Your Business Journey in the GCC
A foreign company branch functions as a subsidiary that bears the parent business's name and is an extension of the parent firm functioning in a foreign nation. Since the parent firm still retains complete ownership and management, it is not regarded as a distinct legal entity. In order to establish a foreign branch, one must register with local authorities, follow local regulations, and obey the laws of both the home and host countries. The parent business is accountable for the operations of the branch, and local taxes may apply to the earnings. While opening offices abroad can be a speedier and more affordable way for businesses to expand globally, doing so requires them to carefully manage complicated legal, financial, and cultural issues. They must also seek professional help to ensure successful operations and regulatory compliance.
