LAWYER FOR BRANCH OFFICE REGISTRATION – The business process of one company very often requires carrying out activities outside its headquarters. For this purpose, a company should establish one or more branches, depending on how many activities it plans to perform. The company’s branch can perform all the company’s activities. Nevertheless, the business process may require termination of a company’s branch office, as well.
The procedure for registration and termination of a company’s branch office is carried out before the Central Registry of the Republic of North Macedonia by an authorized registration agent – a lawyer.
Our law office is certified for conveying all kinds of procedures before the Central Registry, including procedures for registration or termination of a company’s branch office.
Organization of a branch office
The competent authority of the company should issue a decision on the organization of a branch office. The branch office operates under the name of the company that organized it. The name must include the company’s headquarters and the word “branch office”.
Does a branch office have the capacity of a legal entity?
The branch office is not a separate legal entity. The company itself acquires all the rights and obligations arising from the operations of the branch office. In a case of a legal dispute, the company will appear as a party to the dispute.
Termination of a branch office
The branch office ceases when the company issues a decision to terminate the branch office, as well as when the company itself ceases to exist (in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation, etc.).
