What is an OPC?
Key features:
- Only one shareholder/member required (plus nominee).
- Only one director needed initially
- No mandatory minimum paid-up capital requirement to register an OPC (post amendments).
Why Choose OPC — Benefits & When It Makes Sense
- Full control — As the sole owner and director, you make all strategic decisions.
- Limited liability — Your personal assets are protected; liability is limited to company capital.
- Simple compliance — Compared to Pvt Ltd, compliance requirements are lighter
- Low cost and easy setup — Ideal for small businesses, freelancers, consultants, or solo ventures.
- Suitable for solo professionals — If you don’t have co-founders or partners, OPC allows you to start alone but with legal protection & corporate status.
OPC suits: consultants, freelancers, small service providers, solo startups, independent professionals — any business where a single entrepreneur wants to operate without complex partner structures.
