What are the requirements for setting up a branch?

The establishment of a branch company needs to meet certain conditions, mainly including registered capital, business scope, parent company qualification and reputation.

I. Requirements for registered capital

To set up a branch, you need to have enough registered capital first. Registered capital is the economic basis for branches to carry out business, and it is also a necessary condition to ensure the normal operation of branches. According to the Company Law, the registered capital of a branch company is fully contributed by the parent company and paid in one lump sum when the company is established. The specific amount of registered capital may vary according to different industries and regions, so it is necessary to refer to relevant local policies and regulations.

The business scope of a branch company shall be within the business scope of the parent company and shall not exceed the business ability and qualification of the parent company. When applying for the establishment of a branch, it is necessary to clarify the business scope of the branch and indicate it in the business license. If the branch needs to carry out business beyond the business scope of the parent company, it needs to obtain approval and permission from relevant departments.

Three. Qualification and reputation of the parent company

The establishment of a branch needs the backing of a parent company with legal business qualifications and good reputation. The parent company should have a stable business foundation and strong economic strength, and be able to provide necessary support and guarantee for the branches. At the same time, the reputation of the parent company is also one of the important factors for the smooth operation of the branch. If the parent company has a bad reputation, it may affect the business development of the branch and the trust of the partners.
