A Representative Office (Rep Office) is an extension of a foreign company's operations in a different country. It serves as a liaison between the parent company and potential clients, partners, or government authorities in the host country. A Rep Office does not have a separate legal entity from its parent company and is not allowed to engage in profit-generating activities, which means it cannot conduct direct sales or revenue-generating transactions.
The primary purpose of a Rep Office is to facilitate market research, promote the parent company's products or services, and build relationships with local stakeholders. It serves as a valuable tool for foreign companies seeking to explore new markets, understand local regulations, and establish a foothold in a foreign country before committing to a full-fledged presence.
