German term or phrase: 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft
x ist eine 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft von y. I can't figure out a concise way to put this. "a complete subsidiary?" That doesn't quite catch it. Or does it?
Heidrun Steinhaus
Germany
wholly owned subsidiary
Explanation:
also seen 100% subsidiary (but from previous business background, would go for "wholly owned")
