What is a One-Person Company?

A One-Person Company (OPC) is a business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single individual to start a company with the benefits of limited liability and a distinct legal identity.

OPCs are designed to encourage entrepreneurship and formalize small businesses in India. They combine the simplicity of a sole proprietorship with the advantages of a company, such as easier fundraising and legal protections.

Who Can Start an OPC?

To register an OPC, you must meet these criteria:

• Be a natural person: Only individuals (not companies or LLPs) can start an OPC.
• Be an Indian citizen: You must have resided in India for at least 182 days in the previous year.
• Appoint a nominee: A nominee is required to take over the company in case of your incapacity or death.
• Follow business restrictions: OPCs cannot engage in non-banking financial activities or certain charitable objectives.
• Monitor growth: If your OPC exceeds ₹50 lakh in paid-up capital or ₹2 crore in turnover, it must convert into a private limited company.

Why Choose an OPC?

Advantages of an OPC

• Limited Liability: Your personal assets are protected from company debts.
• Legal Identity: The company has a separate legal status from its owner.
• Simple Management: With only one decision-maker, management is fast and efficient.
• Ease of Fundraising: OPCs can attract investments from banks, venture capitalists, and angel investors.
• Tax Benefits: Enjoy the tax perks of being a company while maintaining simple compliance.

Challenges to Consider

• Limited Ownership: Only one person can own the company, which may limit growth opportunities.
• Activity Restrictions: Some business activities, like banking or investment, are not allowed.
• Compliance Requirements: Regular filings and audits are mandatory, just like other companies.
