What is a One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company (OPC) represents a distinctive kind of business structure in India, established under the Companies Act of 2013. It enables a solo entrepreneur to benefit from a corporate identity while maintaining complete control and ownership of the enterprise. This arrangement is particularly suited for individual entrepreneurs who wish to limit their personal liability while enjoying the advantages associated with a private limited company, all without requiring multiple shareholders.
In an OPC, one person can serve as both the director and shareholder, creating a hybrid structure that merges the benefits of a sole proprietorship with those of a corporate entity. The proprietor enjoys limited liability, which safeguards personal assets from business obligations, thus ensuring financial stability.
Key Features of a One Person Company
- Single Ownership: An OPC is owned by a single individual who acts as both the shareholder and director.
- Limited Liability Protection: The owner’s liability is limited to the amount invested in the company, ensuring personal assets are not at risk.
- Separate Legal Entity: The company is treated as a distinct legal entity, separate from its owner, enabling it to own assets, incur debts, and enter into contracts.
- Less Compliance Burden: Compared to a private limited company, the compliance requirements for an OPC are simpler, making it easier to manage.
