What is an OPC, or One Person Company?

In India, single entrepreneurs can establish a One Person Company (OPC) as a form of business. It offers the same benefits of a company, such as limited liability and a separate legal entity, but it lets one individual own and run the business. This structure keeps personal assets safe from business dangers and makes running the business easier than other types of companies.

It offers solo entrepreneurs a simple, legally recognized business structure with limited liability protection. OPC provides the advantages of a private limited company tailored for single owners, ensuring greater credibility, easy access to funding, and perpetual succession. The registration process is fully digital and fast, requiring fewer compliances compared to other company types, making it ideal for freelancers, consultants, and solo startups
