Features of Foreign subsidiary
-
A foreign subsidiary company is a business entity established in a foreign country, owned and controlled by a parent company in a different nation. Here are key features of a foreign subsidiary:
1. Ownership and Control
-
A foreign subsidiary is generally 50% or more owned by the parent company, which exercises control over its operations and management.
-
The parent company can control important decisions, while the subsidiary maintains some operational independence.
2. Separate Legal Entity
-
A foreign subsidiary operates as a distinct legal entity from its parent, adhering to the laws and regulations of the host country.
-
This structure limits liability, as the parent company is not directly responsible for the subsidiary's obligations or debts.
3. Limited Liability
-
Shareholders of the foreign subsidiary (typically the parent company) are only liable up to their investment, which limits the financial risk.
4. Local Compliance and Tax Obligations
-
The subsidiary must follow local compliance rules, including tax filings, financial reporting, and regulatory obligations specific to the host country.
-
It may be subject to double taxation if not managed with tax treaties in mind.
5. Autonomous Operations
-
The subsidiary operates independently regarding day-to-day business activities, product offerings, and market strategies, although it aligns with the parent company's overall objectives.
-
This independence allows the subsidiary to adapt its products or services to the local market’s demands and cultural nuances.
6. Separate Financial Records
-
The foreign subsidiary has its financial statements and accounting records, which are consolidated into the parent company’s accounts.
7. Market Expansion and Localization
-
It enables the parent company to expand and establish a presence in new markets, localize products, and better serve the target audience.
-
This presence can help the company establish brand recognition and trust within the local market.
8. Access to Local Resources
-
The subsidiary gains access to local resources, such as labor, raw materials, and partnerships, which can reduce operational costs and improve market reach.
9. Intellectual Property Protection
-
The subsidiary can register intellectual property (IP) locally, providing legal protection for trademarks, patents, or copyrights within the foreign market.
10. Enhanced Growth and Profitability
-
Expanding into international markets through a subsidiary can lead to increased growth and profitability, especially in high-growth or emerging markets.
Why Choose Private Limited Company
Advantages
-
A subsidiary is a business that has more than 50% of its voting stock held by another business, often known as the parent company or holding company. When a foreign subsidiary is owned by its parent firm, it is obligated to abide by the laws of the nation in which it was established and is now doing business. For this reason, a foreign firm that incorporates in India must abide by Indian regulations.
Disadvantages
-
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is prohibited in proprietorships, partnership firms, and one-person businesses, according FEMA norms. While investing in limited liability companies (LLPs) is permitted, prior RBI clearance is required.
