One Person Company

A One Person Company (OPC) is a type of business entity where a single individual owns and runs the company. It combines the benefits of sole proprietorship and a private limited company. The sole owner enjoys limited liability protection, meaning their personal assets are shielded from the company's debts. This structure is designed to encourage individual entrepreneurship while providing legal and financial protection similar to that of a larger corporation.

Features

Limited Liability

The sole owner’s liability is limited to their investment in the company. Their personal assets are protected from the company’s debts and liabilities.

Perpetual Succession

The OPC has perpetual succession, meaning the company continues to exist even if the owner dies or becomes incapacitated. A nominee must be appointed to take over the company in such cases.

Single Ownership

An OPC can have only one shareholder, who is the sole owner and has complete control over the company's operations.

Minimal Compliance

Compared to other business structures like private limited companies, OPCs have fewer regulatory and compliance requirements, making it easier for individuals to manage.

Separate Legal Entity

An OPC is a separate legal entity distinct from its owner. It can own property, incur debts, sue, and be sued in its own name.

 

Ownership Transferability

The ownership of an OPC can be transferred to another individual, but it involves changing the company's nominee and adhering to regulatory requirements.

Relevant FAQs

How is an OPC different from a sole proprietorship?

While both involve a single owner, an OPC provides limited liability protection, meaning the owner's personal assets are protected from business liabilities. A sole proprietorship does not offer this protection, making the owner personally liable for business debts.
