Subsidiary: Business, Company, Corporation, Limited Liability Company, Government-Owned Corporation, Parent Company, Legal Fiction, Commercial Law, Tax, Regulation

admin — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:15:06 +0000

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A subsidiary, in business matters, is an entity that is controlled by a separate higher entity. The controlled entity is called a company, corporation, or limited liability company; and in some cases can be a government or state-owned enterprise, and the controlling entity is called its parent (or the parent company). The reason for this distinction is that a lone company cannot be a subsidiary of any organization; only an entity representing a legal fiction as a separate entity can be a subsidiary. Contrary to popular belief, a parent company does not have to be the larger or "more powerful" entity; it is possible for the parent company to be smaller than a subsidiary, or the parent may be larger than some or all of its subsidiaries (if it has more than one). The parent and the subsidiary do not necessarily have to operate in the same locations, or operate the same businesses, but it is also possible that they could conceivably be competitors in the marketplace.
