What is the difference between opening a branch and a subsidiary in the UK? Which one suits me better? [Reddit]
Answered by a local advisor in English, no commitment.
Answer
A branch in the UK is an extension of your Spanish company, without its own legal personality, while a subsidiary is an independent company. The branch is simpler to manage, but the subsidiary limits your liability and can be more tax-efficient. The choice depends on your activity and goals. At Filnet we analyze your case and recommend the best option for your UK expansion, with a fixed price and ongoing support. We are local advisors who speak Spanish and guide you 100% online throughout the process.
