Nature of subsidiary companies

• After the subsidiary is formed, the parent company controls its subsidiary in terms of the influence and direct the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary.
• A Singapore Subsidiary Company can have the full ownership of the foreign company and is considered as a separate legal entity.
• The subsidiary company doesn’t have any liability to the foreign company as its liability is limited to the share capital it has subscribed.
