One Person Company (OPC)

One Person Company Registration in India (OPC)

One Person Company (OPC) registration refers to the legal process by which an individual entrepreneur incorporates their own business as a company with a single owner and member under Indian law. Unlike a traditional sole proprietorship, an OPC is treated as a separate legal entity, giving the owner limited liability protection, independent corporate identity, and greater credibility in the eyes of clients, banks, and partners. It is governed by Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, which defines an OPC as a company having only one person as its member and allows that person to also serve as the sole director.
