12. What is the difference between an Enterprise and an Establishment?

An Enterprise is an actual registered company, GBE, association, partnership or trust, whereas an Establishment is each physical location. If we use Bank of China as an example, Bank of China would be the Enterprise, and each of the branches and head offices would be the establishments. That's why the establishments figure is always higher than Enterprises. For more information see the Glossary of Terms.
