What Is a Subsidiary Company and How Does It Work?

Foreign company subsidiary

Meaning of Subsidiary:

When a company buys another company, the second company usually becomes a subsidiary.
 or 
An enterprise controlled by another (called the parent) through the ownership of greater than 50 percent of its voting stock. 

What is a Subsidiary Company?
A subsidiary is a business that is wholly or partially owned by another business, sometimes called the parent company or holding company. The parent company owns sufficient voting stock in the subsidiary -- as a rule, at least 50% -- to give it control over the subsidiary's operations and management. In a wholly-owned subsidiary, the parent company owns 100% of the stock.

Parent Company:
A parent company is simply a company that runs a business and that owns another business — the subsidiary. The parent company has operations of its own, and the subsidiary may carry on a related business. For example, the subsidiary might own and manage property assets of the parent company, to keep the liability from those assets separate. 

Types of subsidiary:

There can be two types of it based upon ownership namely

• 100% ownership
  
  • Fully owned subsidiaries (only in FDI permitted sectors as Per latest FDI policy)

• Less than 100% ownership
  
  • Joint Ventures  
  A subsidiary's parent company may be the sole owner or one of several owners. If a parent company or holding company owns 100% of another company, that company is called a "wholly owned subsidiary."

Why Form a Subsidiary?
This separate legal structure may be used to gain certain tax benefits, track the results of a separate business unit, segregate risk from the rest of the organization, or prepare certain assets for sale. A larger business may own dozens or even hundreds of subsidiary companies.

How a Subsidiary Operates? 

A subsidiary operates as a normal company would, while the parent company has only oversight. If the parent company had day-to-day supervision of the subsidiary, that would mean the parent would take on the liability of the subsidiary.

How a Subsidiary Is Formed?

A subsidiary is formed by registering with the state in which the company operates. The ownership of the subsidiary is spelled out in the registration. 

Let's say Company A wants to form a subsidiary to manage its properties. The subsidiary, Company B, registers with the state and indicates that it is wholly owned by Company A.
