One Person Company Registration

What is a One Person Company (OPC)?

A One Person Company is a type of company that can be incorporated with only one shareholder and one director. The individual owns and manages the company while enjoying limited liability protection.

OPC combines the simplicity of sole proprietorship with the benefits of a private limited company.

Key Features of OPC

• Single owner and single director

• Separate legal entity

• Limited liability protection

• Perpetual succession through nominee

• Corporate identity and credibility

Who Can Register an OPC?

OPC registration can be done by:

• Indian citizens

• Indian residents (as per MCA guidelines)

• Entrepreneurs and freelancers

• Consultants and professionals

Only one OPC can be registered by a person at a time.

Nominee Requirement in OPC

OPC requires the appointment of a nominee at the time of incorporation. The nominee becomes the owner of the company in case of the death or incapacity of the original member.

Nominee consent and identity documents are mandatory.
