How does a branch office differ from a subsidiary in Dubai? - setupdubai - 04-16-2025
A Branch Office in Dubai is an extension of a foreign company and operates under the same name and business activities as the parent company. It is not a separate legal entity, meaning the parent company is fully responsible for its debts and obligations. On the other hand, a subsidiary is a separate legal entity, usually set up as a limited liability company (LLC) in Dubai, and can have different activities from the parent company. This allows more flexibility and limited liability for the owners.
