🇬🇧 Registration of UK Branches or Subsidiaries

✅ Establish a Legal Presence for Your Foreign Company in the United Kingdom

Expanding your business into the UK? You can choose between setting up a UK branch or registering a UK subsidiary. At YUDEY, we provide end-to-end legal support for international businesses entering the UK market — from structure selection to full registration with Companies House and HMRC.

📌 Branch vs Subsidiary: What’s the Difference?

Feature UK Branch UK Subsidiary
Legal entity Extension of parent company Separate UK legal entity (Ltd company)
Liability Parent company is fully liable Liability limited to subsidiary
Tax status Taxed on UK income only Taxed as a UK resident company
Governance Managed under parent’s control Has its own board and shareholders
Public filing requirements More extensive (submit parent accounts) Less exposure (files own UK accounts)
Branding Same as parent Can operate under a different name

✅ When to Choose a UK Branch

✅ When to Choose a UK Subsidiary
