About The OPC

The concept of a one-person company (OPC) is truly unique. It offers individual entrepreneurs the same benefits as a traditional company, including access to credit, bank loans, markets, limited liability, and legal protection. By acquiring legal status and perpetuity, OPCs empower solo business owners with a structured and secure way to operate.

Before the Companies Act of 2013, a minimum of two shareholders was required to start a company. However, with the introduction of OPCs, new opportunities have opened up for small business owners, artisans, and traders—especially those in handloom, handicrafts, and pottery. Previously, they operated as independent weavers or craftsmen without a formal business entity. Now, OPCs enable them to establish their ventures within a recognized corporate structure, giving them credibility and financial advantages.

An OPC must appoint a nominee at the time of incorporation. In the event of the original shareholder’s death or incapacity, the nominee automatically takes over as the company’s new member. The details of this nominee must be provided during the registration process.

This business model makes it easier for solo entrepreneurs to grow their businesses while enjoying the benefits of a company without the need for multiple shareholders.

Advantages of registering OPC

Easy Incorporation

A single person can incorporate a One Person Company (OPC) without needing anyone else to be involved. This is one of the biggest advantages of an OPC.

Better Decision-Making

Since an OPC has only one shareholder, there’s no need to seek approval from others for company-related decisions. This allows for faster and more efficient decision-making.

Fewer Compliance Requirements

With only one shareholder, an OPC is not required to conduct Board Meetings or Annual General Meetings (AGMs) to pass resolutions. This significantly reduces the burden of compliance.

Legal Status

An OPC enjoys the same legal status and benefits as a Private Limited Company, providing credibility and legal protection.

Reduced Administrative Hassle

Since an OPC does not require an AGM or frequent meetings, it can save on administrative costs and paperwork, making business operations smoother and more cost-effective.

Minimum Requirements

  • An OPC (One Person Company) requires a minimum of one shareholder, who will also act as the director.
  • A nominee must be appointed, who will take over as the shareholder in case of the original shareholder’s death or incapacity.
  • Only Indian citizens can become members or nominees of an OPC.
  • A person cannot be a shareholder or nominee in more than one OPC at the same time.
  • The minimum authorized share capital for an OPC must be at least ₹1 lakh, but there is no minimum requirement for paid-up capital.
