Overview

A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business structure introduced by the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a single individual to start and operate a company. It combines the benefits of a sole proprietorship with the advantages of a private limited company, such as limited liability and separate legal identity. OPC is ideal for entrepreneurs who want to start a business on their own while enjoying the credibility and protection of a corporate entity.
