Followings are the main differences between branch and department:
1. Branches are separated from the main organization. Departments are attached with the main organization under a single roof.
2. Branches are the outcome of tough competition and expansion of business. Departments are the result of fast human life.
3. Branches are geographically separated. Departments are not separated rather existed under a same roof.
4. Branches are of different types like dependent, independent and foreign. There is no such classification in department because all are common under the same roof.
5. Allocation of branch common expenses does not arise. Allocation of departmental common expenses is a tough job.

Branches are separated from the main organization. Departments are attached with the main organization under a single roof. Branches are the outcome of tough competition and expansion of business. Departments are the result of fast human life. A branch is a subdivision of a company and is a geographical classification. On the other hand a department is a classification based on the function, activites or goods.
