Start Your Business with the Benefits of a Company and the Control of a Sole Owner

A One Person Company (OPC) is an ideal business structure for solo entrepreneurs who wish to enjoy the benefits of a Private Limited Company while retaining complete control over the business. Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, an OPC allows a single individual to operate a corporate entity with limited liability and separate legal identity.

An OPC is particularly suitable for startups, consultants, professionals, traders, freelancers, and small business owners who wish to establish a legally recognized business with enhanced credibility.

 

What is a One Person Company (OPC)?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a company incorporated with a single shareholder and a single director. It enjoys all the benefits of a private limited company, including separate legal identity, perpetual succession, and limited liability.

Unlike a proprietorship, an OPC is a distinct legal entity and can own assets, enter into contracts, open bank accounts, and conduct business in its own name.
