Registration of a separate subdivision of the organization

---

In order to expand their business geographically, to increase the market for goods and services, to locate production closer to sources of raw materials and potential consumers, and to save on transportation costs, enterprises establish separate subdivisions.

Such subdivisions do not need state registration as separate legal entities. However, their opening requires appropriate approval by local authorities and registration in the Unified Register.

According to the norms of the Civil Code, separate subdivisions of a legal entity may be branches and representative offices, which are located outside the location of the enterprise.

The branch performs all or part of the functions of the main organization - produces products, provides services, performs work. A representative office is called upon to represent or protect its interests.

What legal acts regulate the creation of a separate subdivision and its functioning?

1. Civil Code.
2. Commercial Code.
3. The Law on Business Companies.
4. The Law on State Registration of Physical and Legal Entities.
