What to keep in mind
Document corporate authorization, local representation, address and any filing with the destination registry, alongside permits, taxes, powers and contracts.
A warehouse or sales point is not necessarily a registrable branch in every case.
Distinctions often confused
A branch remains part of the same legal entity; a subsidiary is a distinct corporation.
Frequently asked questions
Does a branch have separate share capital?
Generally it is part of the company's patrimony, subject to specific accounting or filing duties.
Does every branch in another province require registration?
This depends on the type of establishment, actual acts and local law.
