Service Details
One Person Company (OPC)
Company registration for solo founders combining liability protection with simplicity.
Quick Navigation
An OPC (One Person Company) is designed specifically for solo founders who want the legal protection of a registered company without needing a co-founder. Unlike a proprietorship, an OPC creates a completely separate legal entity that protects your personal savings, home, and investments from business debts. It runs with just one director and one shareholder and both roles can be held by the same person. Compliance requirements are simpler and less expensive than a Private Limited Company, making it one of the most practical structures for independent entrepreneurs in India.
Who Needs This?
This service is for solo founders who want the legal protection and professional credibility of a registered company without needing a co-founder or business partner. It is ideal for individual consultants, solo product builders, and single-person enterprises who have outgrown a proprietorship and need limited liability protection, a separate business bank account, and a company structure that clients and vendors take seriously, but who are not yet ready or willing to bring in a co-founder or outside partner.
Key Benefits of One Person Company (OPC)
Limited liability protection for the sole member
Your personal assets are completely separated from your business. If the company faces a legal dispute, outstanding debt, or financial distress, your personal savings, property, and investments cannot be touched by creditors. This protection is simply not available under a proprietorship.
Lower compliance burden vs. regular Pvt Ltd
An OPC is exempt from several mandatory requirements that a Private Limited Company must follow, such as holding an Annual General Meeting and maintaining a separate company secretary. This significantly reduces both the cost and the effort required for annual compliance.
Professional business structure
An OPC carries a Certificate of Incorporation and an official MCA registration number. This makes it far more credible than a proprietorship when dealing with larger clients, opening business bank accounts, applying for business loans, or bidding on government contracts.
Eligible for Startup India benefits
An OPC qualifies for DPIIT Startup India recognition, which opens access to the 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, angel tax exemption, and 80% discount on patent and trademark fees, all of which are unavailable to proprietorships.
Can be easily converted to Pvt Ltd later
When your business grows beyond Rs 2 crore annual turnover or Rs 50 lakh paid-up capital, or when you want to bring in co-founders or investors, the OPC can be converted into a Private Limited Company without disrupting your business operations or client relationships.

Step-by-Step Process
Here is exactly what happens from start to finish when you work with us.
Entity Qualification
We confirm that you meet all OPC eligibility requirements: you must be an Indian resident individual above 18 years of age, can only be a member (owner) in one OPC at a time, and cannot be a nominee in another OPC simultaneously.
Nominee Arrangement
We explain the nominee requirement in detail and help you select an appropriate nominee. The nominee is a safeguard, not a co-owner. We prepare the nominee consent form (Form INC-3) and guide both of you through signing it digitally.
Documentation
We prepare all OPC-specific documents including the MoA and AoA in the OPC format, the single-member incorporation declaration, the nominee consent letter, and all director and registered office proof documents.
Filing
We file the OPC incorporation application through the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal, which simultaneously applies for PAN, TAN, and your Certificate of Incorporation in one submission.
Approval & Registration
MCA processes the application and issues the Certificate of Incorporation. We deliver your incorporated OPC with all documents including your DIN, DSC, certified MoA and AoA, PAN, and TAN certificates.
