One Person Company

A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business structure that allows an individual to operate a business with limited liability protection. It is ideal for solo entrepreneurs who want to enjoy the benefits of a corporate structure without the need for multiple shareholders. OPCs have minimal compliance requirements, making them a favorable option for individuals looking to start their business with ease and protection.

Key Features of One Person Company

1. Single Ownership: An OPC can be owned and managed by a single person, with one nominee.
    
2. Limited Liability: The owner’s liability is limited to their investment in the company, offering financial protection.
    
3. Separate Legal Entity: An OPC is considered a separate legal entity, distinct from its owner.
    
4. Easy Transfer of Ownership: Ownership can be transferred to the nominee or another individual as per the company's rules.
    
5. Minimum Compliance: OPCs have fewer compliance requirements compared to a private limited company.
    
6. Credibility: Having OPC status enhances business credibility and trustworthiness.
