Finance (general)
Bolaget ingick tidigare i en kommissionärsgrupp där bolaget var kommissionär till moderbolaget som var kommittent.
A kommissionär = a group that performs operations on behalf of another company. Would this best be expressed: as "agent" "commissioned company", "contracted company"?
- "The company was previously part of a group of "commissioned companies, where the company was the commissioned company and the parent company was the principal."
Is there a better accounting term out there?

group of commission agents
a group of mercantile agency companies rather than of debt factors: 'whether a person or firm (factoring company), accepts as assignee book debts (accounts receivable) as security for short-term loans; this is known as factoring.' So 'factoring group' might be ambiguous.
possible rephrasing: The company used to be part of a /factoring / group of commission agents in which the company was the /factor / commission agent of the parent company that acted as > qua principal

Group of commission agents
I sort of agree with Adrian but I'd make it simpler. For example, “The company was previously part of a group of commission agents and was the commission agent of the parent company that was the principal.”
