ONE PERSON COMPANY (OPC)

One Person Company (OPC) Registration – Establish Your Business with Limited Liability

Start Your One-Person Company with Legal Security & Growth Opportunities

A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, allowing solo entrepreneurs to enjoy the benefits of a private limited company while maintaining full control. OPC registration is an ideal choice for startups, freelancers, professionals, and small business owners who want limited liability protection, a separate legal identity, and better growth prospects.

At Noble India Filings, we simplify the OPC registration process, ensuring a quick, hassle-free, and legally compliant setup for your business.

Key Benefits of Registering an OPC

✔ Limited Liability Protection – The personal assets of the business owner remain protected, as liability is limited to the investment in the company.

✔ Separate Legal Entity – An OPC is distinct from its owner, allowing it to own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.

✔ Full Control of Business – Unlike partnerships or private limited companies, an OPC allows a single entrepreneur to have complete decision-making power.

✔ Easy Funding & Credibility – Being a registered company, an OPC attracts more investors, lenders, and clients compared to proprietorships.

✔ No Minimum Capital Requirement – OPCs can be formed with any amount of capital, making it a cost-effective choice for small businesses.

✔ Better Business Recognition – An OPC is legally recognized, boosting brand credibility in client dealings, tender applications, and business expansions.

✔ Easy Conversion to Private Limited Company – Once an OPC grows beyond a ₹2 crore turnover or has more than one director, it can be converted into a Private Limited Company (Pvt. Ltd.).
