Expanding into Australia – Foreign Branch Fact Sheet

23 Jun 2020

Establishing your business as a subsidiary or a branch is a key consideration when expanding into Australia. (For more information on establishing an Australian subsidiary, refer to our article Expanding into Australia – Subsidiary Company Fact Sheet.)

A foreign branch is a company that is incorporated outside Australia. Registered foreign companies are often referred to as “branch” offices.

A foreign company can register with ASIC, allowing it to carry on business in Australia. Upon registration, the company is issued with an ARBN (Australian Registered Body Number). Registering a foreign company does not create a separate legal entity.
