One Person Company Registration
One person company is a legal entity as a Private Limited Company but with little distinctness. An OPC company is a more credible form of company incorporation than of sole proprietorship
The One Person Company (OPC) is the type of business which is owned by a single person which allows owning and manage the entire business. The OPC as a business form is introduced in India through Companies Act, 2013 to administer the sole proprietorship businesses and promote in an organised way. This is the business form which provides the benefits of corporate arrangement to those who does not want any partition of the business.
Advantages
- Limited liability:
As a company owner, you are not legally obligated to pay outstanding company debts beyond the value of the shares you hold it in the company and it protects the personal assets (such as a home or savings) of the company owner and this protects you in the event of business failure.
- One Shareholder & Director required:
Only one Director and Shareholder is required to incorporate a One Person Company in this form of the business, unlike others.
- Protect your business name:
When you incorporate your company its name is protected and other businesses cannot use the name or one that is similar.
Disadvantages
- Restriction to convert Private Limited:
As a company owner, you cannot convert an OPC to a Private Limited Company before 2 years from the incorporation of OPC.
- Suitable to Small Business:
OPC is suitable only for small business. An OPC can have maximum Paid up share capital of Rs. 50 Lakhs or Turnover of Rs.2 Crores. Otherwise, OPC needs to be converted into a Private Limited Company.
- Cost similar to Private Limited:
Cost to incorporate an OPC is similar to a private limited company which has more perks and benefits than One Person Company.
