The subsidiary has independent subject qualification and enjoys independent legal person status.
A branch does not have independent civil and commercial subject qualification, but is a branch of a company and does not have legal person qualification.
2. Different appellations
There is no independent name for a branch, so it must be crowned with a branch to remind the parties.
And subsidiaries have their own independent names.
3. Different will relations.
As an independent legal person, the subsidiary is independent in law, and the parent company cannot directly direct the operation and management activities of the subsidiary.
As a branch of the company, the branch is completely controlled by the company in business execution and fund allocation, and there is a relationship between management and being managed.
4. Different property relations
In the structure of property relationship, although the subsidiary has the participation of the parent company, it still owns its own property.
The property of the branch company belongs to the company and is an inseparable part of the company's property. Therefore, the branch has no independent legal property, while the property of the subsidiary is completely independent.
5. Different property responsibilities
As an independent legal subject, subsidiaries operate independently and conduct independent accounting, and all consequences, including property and liabilities, are entirely borne by themselves.
As a subordinate entity, a branch company has neither its own independent property nor its own independent will, so its business consequences should be owned by the company, and the resulting property liabilities should also be borne by the company.
6. Different product packaging labels
A subsidiary must indicate its name and domicile on the outer packaging of its products.
A branch company may indicate its own name and domicile, or indicate the name and domicile of the head office at the same time, or only the name and domicile of the head office.
