Different companies look at their registrations differently. Some have multiple locations on a single certificate. It’s cheaper, generally, to do so. You ‘make a deal’ with the registrar. As with everything else, the more you want to buy in a ‘chunk’, the quicker they are to offer a discount.

Those who chose to have each location on a different certificate are typically looking at the weakest link aspect of a single certificate: If 1 location ‘fails’, all locations are affected.

The other aspects noted above should be self explanatory.

You can register 1 location in a corporation. Or you can register a corporation. You can even, theoretically, register one part of an individual facility. You address this issue in your registration Scope statement. You should discuss the scope of your registration very early in your contact with registrars (prior to or during the interview process).
