What is One Person Company?

The new concept of ‘One Person Company (OPC) has been launched by the Companies Act, 2013. It provides a new whole idea of the opportunity to those who are eager to start their own businesses which have only one member.

Incorporation of One Person Company was published as a good rectification over the sole proprietorship. Only the residents of India who were born here are eligible for the One Person Company Registration. An OPC is perfect for anyone who wants to run a business by himself or herself, think to have effective control over the overall operations of the business, and works in a structured framework.
One Person Company is one in which best one individual is the member. It can be registered with a minimum capital of just Rs 1 Lakh. Earlier, if the paid capital of One Person Company exceeds fifty lakh rupees or its average annual turnover during the relevant period exceeds 2 crore rupees, it will cease to be entitled to continue as a One Person Company. Now, the Government has removed the limit of paid-up share capital and turnover for the conversion of OPC which is mostly done by the startups.

Benefits of One Person Company :

  • Good reputation and credibility in the market
In India, OPC is a Private Limited Company, which is the most popular and leading business structure in the business sector. Various Govt. Agencies, Corporate Customers, and vendors prefer to trust and deal with Private Limited Company rather than proprietorship firms.
  • Limited liability Protection to Directors Personal Assets
The various startups need to buy loans to establish their business and take things on credit. In the case of normal partnerships, the property and personal savings would be at risk because a business is not able to repay its loans. At the same time, in one person’s private limited company, the personal assets of the director are safe, only the investment gets lost.
