Hi, I am wondering the difference between "head office" and "headquarters"?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Venusanderus — and welcome to English-test.net.
I can think of no significant difference between those terms when used of corporate entities. 'Headquarters' can also refer to military units, gangs, etc., of course.
