What is a One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique form of business structure in India, introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single entrepreneur to enjoy the benefits of a corporate entity while retaining full control and ownership of the business. This structure is ideal for solo entrepreneurs who want to limit their liability and enjoy the benefits of a private limited company without the need to involve multiple shareholders.
In an OPC, a single person can be the director and shareholder, making it a hybrid structure that combines the advantages of a sole proprietorship with the benefits of a company. The owner enjoys limited liability, meaning personal assets are protected from business liabilities, ensuring financial security.
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.
