What is a One Person Company?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a revolutionary business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single entrepreneur to operate a corporate entity with limited liability, effectively bridging the gap between a sole proprietorship and a private limited company.

This legal structure was created to support small businesses and solo entrepreneurs, providing them with the advantages of a company while allowing them to manage affairs independently without the need for additional partners or shareholders.
