• Synonym本社ほんしゃNeutralThe head office or headquarters of a company; used for enterprises. 「本店」 instead points to the main store of a shop or bank.
• Synonym本部ほんぶNeutralThe headquarters of an organization or group, e.g. 「対策本部」; stresses the command center rather than a store.
• SynonymヘッドクォーターNeutralLoanword for 'headquarters'; fits companies, organizations or the military but is rare in everyday speech. 「本店」 is specifically the main store of a shop or bank.
• SynonymメインオフィスNeutralLoanword meaning 'main office'; leans toward business-translation contexts and is not often used.
• Antonym支店してんNeutralA branch store or branch office; the direct opposite of 「本店」.

Use 「本店」 for the main store of a shop or bank, as in 「本店限定」. For a company's head office pick 「本社」, for an organization's headquarters 「本部」 or the loanword 「ヘッドクォーター」; a branch is 「支店」.
