An operating subsidiary is a business term frequently used within the United States in corporate profile descriptions.

Example

In the railroad industry, it refers to a company that is a subsidiary but operates with its own identity and rolling stock. In contrast, a non-operating subsidiary would exist on paper only, but for operating purposes would use the identity and rolling stock of the parent company.
