What Is a One Person Company (OPC)?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a business structure that allows a single individual to own and manage an entire company. It combines the simplicity of a sole proprietorship with the benefits of a corporate entity.

OPC offers limited liability protection and a separate legal identity, making it ideal for solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and consultants looking to build a professional company structure.

As your business grows, an OPC can easily be converted into a Private Limited Company, allowing for expansion and investment opportunities.

Understanding the Key Elements of an OPC

1. Single Owner Structure
Only one individual can form and manage the company.
2. Limited Liability
Personal assets remain protected; liability is limited to investment.
3. Separate Legal Entity
OPC operates independently and can own assets or sign contracts.
4. Nominee Requirement
A nominee must be appointed to take over if the owner cannot continue.
5. Simple Compliance
OPCs follow fewer compliance rules, making them simpler to manage.
6. No Minimum Capital
No fixed minimum capital required to start an OPC.
7. Restricted Activities
OPCs cannot perform NBFC-related or specific financial activities.
8. Easy Conversion
Can be converted into a private or public limited company easily.
