ONE PERSON
COMPANY REGISTRATION
A One Person Company
(OPC) is a business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, that
allows a single Indian citizen and resident to form a private limited company.
It gives the sole owner full control while offering limited liability, separate
legal status, and perpetual succession. OPCs must appoint a nominee who will
take over if the owner is incapacitated or dies.
Combining the
simplicity of a sole proprietorship with limited liability, an OPC has a single
owner who acts as both shareholder and director, with a nominee appointed for
succession. Initiated by a promoter, it is a separate legal entity that can own
assets and enter into contracts.
With minimal
compliance, no capital requirement, and professional credibility, an OPC
supports growth and can convert into a private or public company if financial
thresholds are exceeded.
