A One Person Company (OPC) is a relatively new type of business entity introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single individual to operate a company with a separate legal identity, offering the benefits of limited liability, corporate structure, and full control. This structure is perfect for entrepreneurs who seek full control over their business decisions while benefiting from the formal status of a registered company.
Single Shareholder
Only one person can be the shareholder (owner) of the OPC
Limited Liability
The liability of the shareholder is limited to the extent of unpaid subscription money
Separate Legal Entity
