A One Person Company (OPC) is an ideal structure for solo entrepreneurs who wish to operate a business with limited liability while enjoying the benefits of a corporate entity. It provides the owner with full control over the company while limiting their liability to the business’s assets. OPC is perfect for individual entrepreneurs, freelancers, and professionals looking for a simple yet robust business structure. WeIncept simplifies the process of OPC registration, ensuring that your business is set up with minimal hassle and legal compliance.

What is a One Person Company?

An OPC is a separate legal entity introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, designed for sole entrepreneurs who want to operate a business with limited liability. It combines the flexibility of sole proprietorships with the advantages of corporate structures, allowing a single individual to form and operate a company.

Key Benefits of a One Person Company:

• Limited Liability: As the only shareholder, the owner’s liability is limited to their investment in the business. Personal assets remain protected from the company’s liabilities.
• Full Control of the Business: As the sole shareholder and director, the business owner has full control over the company’s decisions without needing approval from other shareholders.
• Separate Legal Entity: The OPC is treated as a separate legal entity, allowing the company to enter into contracts, own property, and sue or be sued in its own name, independent of the owner.
• Perpetual Succession: Even though there is only one shareholder, the business will continue to exist even in the event of the owner’s death or incapacity, as a nominee is appointed during incorporation.
• Easy Compliance and Less Paperwork: OPCs have fewer compliance requirements compared to Private Limited Companies, making them easier to maintain while still enjoying corporate benefits.
• Tax Flexibility: OPCs enjoy similar tax benefits to Private Limited Companies, including deductions for business expenses, depreciation, and exemptions under various sections of the Income Tax Act.

Documents Required for One Person Company Registration:

For a smooth and seamless OPC registration, the following documents are required:

For the Owner:

• PAN Card (for Indian nationals)
• Passport (for foreign nationals)
• Identity Proof (Aadhaar card, voter ID, or driver’s license)
• Address Proof (bank statement, utility bill not older than 2 months)
• Passport-sized photographs

For the Registered Office:

• Proof of registered office address (rent agreement, utility bill, or NOC from the landlord)
• Ownership documents, if the premises are owned by the owner

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC):

• A DSC is required for filing the incorporation documents. We assist in obtaining the DSC for the owner.

Director Identification Number (DIN):

• DIN is required for the sole director of the OPC. We help in obtaining the DIN for the owner.

Step-by-Step Process for One Person Company Registration:

1. Consultation and Name Reservation: We assist in selecting and reserving a unique name for your OPC that complies with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) guidelines.
2. Digital Signature and DIN Application: We help you obtain the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and Director Identification Number (DIN) for the sole director.
3. MOA and AOA Drafting: We draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) that define your OPC’s objectives and operational rules.
4. Filing Incorporation Documents: We file the necessary incorporation documents, including the MOA, AOA, and other required forms, with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
5. Certificate of Incorporation: Once approved, you will receive your Certificate of Incorporation, and your OPC will be legally registered.
6. PAN & TAN Application: We assist in obtaining the PAN and TAN for your OPC, required for tax-related filings.

Disadvantages of a One Person Company:

• Limited Growth Potential: OPCs cannot add additional shareholders, making it difficult to raise capital through equity investments.
• Conversion to Private Limited Company: If your business expands and exceeds a certain threshold in terms of turnover or paid-up capital, it will be mandatory to convert the OPC into a Private Limited Company.
• Limited Tax Benefits Compared to LLPs: OPCs, while enjoying corporate tax benefits, may not be as tax-efficient as Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), especially in terms of dividend distribution tax.
• Compliance Requirements: Although less stringent than a Private Limited Company, an OPC must still comply with various statutory requirements, including annual filings and maintaining proper records.
