satellite office

Remote company site

A satellite office is a smaller branch of an organization located away from its main headquarters, typically closer to clients, employees, or markets.

Companies establish satellite offices to extend their geographic reach without the expense of a full regional headquarters: The firm opened a satellite office in Denver to serve Western clients.

The term emphasizes the secondary, dependent relationship to the central location—orbiting the main operation like a satellite orbits a planet.
