A
representative office is an office established by a company to conduct
marketing and other non-transaction operations, generally in a foreign country
where a branch office or subsidiary is not warranted. Representative offices
are generally easier to establish than a branch or subsidiary, as they are not
used for actual "business" (e.g. sales) and therefore there is less
incentive for them to be regulated.
