Why OPC
What Is A One Person Company?
OPC gives limited liability while allowing a single shareholder - with a mandatory nominee for continuity. Turnover thresholds trigger mandatory conversion to private limited beyond prescribed limits.
The concept of a One Person Company was introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, enabling a single individual to establish a company with limited liability protection. As per Section 2(62), an OPC can be formed with only one director and one member - and both roles can be filled by the same individual.
