Group company:
First of all, we need to understand that a group company is not a legal organizational form. Usually, a group company is a company established by a relatively powerful enterprise. In fact, it is nothing more than a company name with a group. There is no difference between a company and a company in essence, there is only one legal person. Moreover, the registration of group companies is only regulated by relevant laws and regulations, not by law.
Enterprise group:
For enterprise groups, it is much more formal than group companies. Generally, the parent company is the main company. There are also some subsidiaries and branches. Together to form a collective, it can be regarded as a corporate consortium with a certain scale. However, an enterprise group does not have the qualification of an enterprise legal person because it is composed of legal persons. And the conditions required to form an enterprise group are relatively high:
1, the registered capital of the parent company of an enterprise group must be above 50 million yuan, and the subordinate companies must have at least 5 subsidiaries.
2. And in terms of registered capital, if the parent company and subsidiaries are added together, it will definitely be more than 654.38 billion yuan.
3. All the members of the group have legal person qualifications respectively.
However, according to different regions, there are different regulations. Only when the parent company meets the above conditions can an enterprise group be established, and after registration, it can engage in activities in the name of an enterprise group.
The difference between enterprise groups and group companies;
1) Different from the legal restrictions, a group company has legal personality, because it is not much different from managing ordinary companies, while an enterprise group has no legal personality, because it is a combination of a group of legal persons, and such combination is regulated by the partnership enterprise law.
2) With different internal definitions, enterprise groups can include group companies, but group companies cannot. There are two kinds of enterprise groups. One is that all companies are equal and there is no enterprise as the core. The other is the parent company as the core, and others are subsidiaries or holding companies.
3) Different organizations, all articles of association formulated by enterprise groups are basically formulated after the unanimous consent of the members within the group, while in the case of group companies, all articles of association of the company are decided by the shareholders' meeting and deliberation.
4) Different financial systems are not separate taxpayers for enterprise groups, but need to jointly prepare financial statements. The legal consequences arising from enterprise groups are borne by the members of the enterprise groups, while the group companies are independent tax payers and do not bear the liabilities of each other.
