seat / headquarters
'der Sitz' and 'der Firmensitz' can both mean a company's main location. However, 'Sitz' is more general and can also be used for public authorities, associations, or organizations. 'Firmensitz' is more precise and refers only to the official main location of a company. The words can be confused because both can often be used when talking about companies. If it is clearly about a company, 'Firmensitz' sounds especially precise; 'Sitz' fits when the context is already clear or when it is not only about companies.
