An Overview of One-Person Company Registration

An OPC is a business structure that enjoys the benefits of both forms of business, i.e., a sole proprietorship and a company. Thus, it eliminates the hassles of finding the right kind of co-partner/s for starting a business as a registered entity.

One Person Company is bringing the unstructured Proprietorship Business into the structured version of a private company. OPC is opening the path for sole proprietors and start-ups.

According to Section 3(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, the OPC can be formed for any lawful purpose by an individual. Section 2(62) states that the “One Person Company is a company which has only one person as a member”.
