What is a One Person Company (OPC)?

An OPC is a legally recognized business structure under the Companies Act, 2013, designed to empower sole entrepreneurs with the benefits of a Private Limited Company.

Key Features of OPC:

• Single Owner & Director - One individual controls 100% of the company.
• Separate Legal Entity - Business and personal assets are treated separately.
• Limited Liability - Personal assets remain protected from business liabilities.
• Perpetual Succession - The business continues even after the owner's demise (subject to nominee approval).
• No Minimum Capital Requirement - Start with any capital amount.
• No Mandatory AGM or Board Meetings - Compliance is simpler than a traditional private limited company.

Best suited for:

• Solo entrepreneurs who want a corporate structure.
• Freelancers, consultants, and small business owners.
• Individuals looking to raise funds in the future while maintaining ownership.
