ONE PERSON COMPANY

One Person Company (OPC)

A One Person Company (OPC) is a business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single individual to register a business as both shareholder and director.

Key points:

  • The sole shareholder can nominate a nominee who would manage the company if the director becomes unavailable.

  • An OPC must convert into a Private Limited Company if its turnover exceeds ₹2 crores or the paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakhs.

This structure is designed to help solo entrepreneurs start and manage their business with a formal legal entity.
