Basically to reduce duplication, and make it more manageable, instead of listing many branches under one company in a single record row, where you would end up with several columns for branches used for one company, then another company with very few branches would end up with remaining columns empty, wasting space and unnecessarily increasing database size.

 

By listing all brances in a many to one table and associating those branches with a one to many company id (containing singular info such as company website, email etc) you reduce having empty columns with less chance of duplicating branches associated with that company.
