One Person Company
A One Person Company (OPC) is a type of business entity owned and managed by a single individual. It combines the benefits of a sole proprietorship and a company, offering limited liability protection to the owner while allowing full control. Ideal for solo entrepreneurs seeking formal business structure.
What is a One Person Company (OPC)?
An OPC is a special type of company designed for solo entrepreneurs who want limited liability protection and a separate legal identity. In an OPC, a single person acts as both the director and shareholder, combining the ease of a sole proprietorship with the legal benefits of a private limited company.
