Understanding Branch Offices In Greece
​
A branch office in Greece is a secondary establishment of a foreign company, operating under the parent company’s name and legal personality. It’s not a separate legal entity but an extension of the parent company in Greek territory.
Key Characteristics
Management Independence: Operates with some autonomy while following parent company directives.
Financial Responsibility: Profits and debts directly attributed to the parent company.
No Separate Legal Personality: Acts under the name and on behalf of the parent company.
Taxation: Subject to Greek corporate tax on profits generated in Greece.
Advantages of Branch Registration

​Simplified Structure: Less complex than setting up a subsidiary.
-
Lower Initial Costs: No minimum capital requirement.
-
Direct Control: The parent company maintains direct control over operations.
-
Market Testing: Ideal for testing the Greek market before full-scale entry.
