What is a One Person Company (OPC)?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a hybrid business structure introduced under the Companies Act 2013, designed for solo entrepreneurs. It combines limited liability and separate legal entity status with single ownership — the best of both proprietorship and private limited company.

Key Features of OPC

  • Single Owner: One person as shareholder and director
  • Limited Liability: Personal assets protected
  • Separate Legal Entity: Company exists independently
  • Nominee Director: Mandatory for business continuity
  • Easy Conversion: Can convert to Private Limited Company when scaling
