What is One Person Company
A One Person Company (OPC) in India is a unique business structure that allows a single individual to operate as a company with limited liability. Introduced under the Companies Act 2013, OPC is ideal for solo entrepreneurs who wish to gain the advantages of a corporate entity without the complexities of partnerships or larger companies. Unlike traditional sole proprietorships, an OPC protects the owner’s personal assets from business liabilities. Additionally, the OPC structure enables easier compliance and offers tax benefits, making it a favourable option for startups and small businesses. Only one shareholder is permitted, but a nominee must be appointed in case of unforeseen circumstances. OPCs also have limited requirements for board meetings and filings, simplifying the administrative burden. However, once the company’s turnover exceeds a certain threshold, it must convert to a private limited company, ensuring scalability as the business grows.

Limited Liability
The personal assets of the owner are protected from business liabilities. The shareholder’s liability is limited to the investment made in the company.
Separate Legal Entity
An OPC has its own legal identity, separate from the owner, allowing it to own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its name.
Ease of Compliance
OPCs have fewer regulatory requirements compared to private limited companies. For example, there’s no need to hold annual general meetings (AGMs).
