What Is a Foreign Subsidiary & Do You Need One for Global Expansion?

Setting up a Business in India by a Foreign Company

Ranked within the top 10 enticing investment hubs globally, India has witnessed a surge in inbound investments, totaling $60.1 billion during the fiscal year 2016-17. With the implementation of GST and a reduction in corporate tax rates, India remains poised to further captivate foreign investors and enterprises, enticing them to establish their operations within the country.

Discover the various avenues through which foreign companies can establish their presence in India. Setting up a private limited company emerges as the preferred choice due to its streamlined operations and minimal compliance requirements. Whether as a wholly owned subsidiary or individually owned, private limited companies offer flexibility and efficiency. With sectors allowing 100% foreign investment via the automatic route, the process of setting up a private limited company becomes swift and hassle-free. Explore more options by clicking here.

Additionally, foreign entities can opt for LLP registration in India, which mandates a minimum of 2 partners, with at least one being an Indian resident. LLP registration is restricted to sectors permitting 100% FDI under the automatic route. Learn more by clicking here.

Alternatively, establishing a Branch Office/Liaison Office necessitates prior government approval. While a Branch Office requires a minimum net worth of USD 100,000 and engagement in activities akin to the parent company, a Liaison Office serves as a communication hub without undertaking business activities.

Foreign Branch Vs. Foreign Subsidiary

Both foreign branches and foreign subsidiaries can enable businesses to expand internationally, but there is a key difference between them. A subsidiary is legally and fiscally separate from its parent or holding company, whereas a branch office is not.

This means a parent company remains liable for a branch office but isn’t for a subsidiary.
