One Person Company (OPC) Registration
One Person Company (OPC) Registration
A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique corporate structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a single individual to form and operate a company with limited liability. It bridges the gap between a sole proprietorship and a private limited company, giving solo entrepreneurs the benefits of a corporate entity – limited liability, separate legal identity, and enhanced credibility – without needing a co-founder.

Only 1 shareholder and 1 director required (can be the same person)
Must appoint a nominee director in case of incapacity or death
Limited liability protection for the sole member
Company name must end with “(OPC) Private Limited”
