Understanding How a Representative Office Works

A foreign representative office serves as a liaison for its parent company, focusing on non-commercial activities such as market research and networking. Unlike a full subsidiary, it cannot engage in direct sales or revenue-generating activities. However, when strategically utilized, it can significantly enhance a company’s presence and influence in the Australian market.
