branch office
Company's local presence
A branch office is a secondary location of a business, operating under the same name but in a different place from the main headquarters.
Companies establish branch offices to extend their reach into new markets or serve customers in distant areas: The firm opened a branch office in Chicago.
Unlike subsidiaries, branch offices are not separate legal entities.
