Hi, translating an evaluation report for European Commission. Have run into this sentence which I'm not sure how to translate:
Mise en synergie des Fonds de Garantie, des banques et des structures d’appui non financier agissant comme satellite de l’entreprise.
What exactly would satellite de l'entrerpise be here?
This is a recommendation, hence the somewhat strange structure. Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks

acting as a satellite of the company / acting as an arm of the company
Satellite ofter indicates a sub-unit within a large organization or a external unit linked to it with some distance and/or independence. I like using the same term - acting as a satellite of the company - in English as well, but if is not an option, my next choice would be to use acting as an arm of the company.

Tous ne sont pas pour autant postés chez eux à temps plein. le concept de télétravail inclut, outre les personnes disposant d'un bureau à leur domicile (56 pc des télétravailleurs), les employés faisant usage d'un bureau satellite de l'entreprise (17 pc) et les `nomades', profitant de leurs rares heures perdues en voyages d'affaire pour pianoter sur le clavier de leur portable.
