A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business entity introduced by the Companies Act, 2013, that allows a single individual to establish and manage a corporate structure with limited liability protection. This innovative concept enables entrepreneurs to operate a business with the benefits of a company while maintaining complete control and ownership
The key features of an OPC include limited liability protection, where the personal assets of the owner are safeguarded from business risks. Unlike traditional business structures, an OPC can be formed by a single person who is an Indian citizen and a non-minor. The company enjoys a separate legal identity, perpetual succession, and offers the flexibility of having only one director and one shareholder
An OPC provides significant advantages for small entrepreneurs and professionals seeking to formalize their business. It eliminates the previous requirement of multiple members for company registration, making it easier for solo entrepreneurs to start their ventures. The owner must also nominate a nominee who can take over the company in case of the original owner’s demise, ensuring business continuity and providing an additional layer of security for the enterprise
In this step, the client will be advised about other forms of business and the suitability of OPC for their nature of business.
