A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique form of company introduced by the Companies Act, 2013, designed specifically for solo entrepreneurs, professionals, and first-generation founders who want the credibility and limited liability protection of a private limited company — but without the need for a co-founder or second shareholder. An OPC is owned and managed by a single individual who acts as the sole shareholder, with a nominated person stepping in only in the event of the shareholder’s death or incapacity.
OPC structure offers the best of both worlds — the separate legal identity, limited liability, and perpetual succession of a corporate entity, combined with the simplicity and sole control of a proprietorship. It is ideal for freelancers, consultants, small traders, D2C founders, and single-owner tech businesses who want a formal company with their name on it — credible for banks, clients, and government tenders — without diluting ownership to a partner or nominee shareholder.
We offer end-to-end OPC incorporation and compliance services — from name reservation, DSC / DIN, drafting of MOA & AOA, SPICe+ filing, PAN / TAN / GST, bank account opening, nominee documentation, to ongoing annual ROC filings, income tax, and eventual conversion into a Private Limited Company when the business scales — so your OPC is set up cleanly, runs compliantly, and supports long-term growth.
OPC is designed for individual entrepreneurs who meet specific residency and eligibility criteria under the Companies Act.
Certain persons and business activities are specifically barred from forming or operating an OPC.
