A “branch office” attempts sales activities in Koreato generate profits. This is the main difference with a “liaison office” which does not conduct sales activities to generate profit, but carries out non-sales functions such as business contacts, market research, etc.Liaison offices are limited in their scope of activities because they arenot allowed to sell products directly on behalf of the headquarters.
