Build a real corporate identity as a solo founder. Register a One Person Company with limited liability, perpetual succession and full incorporation paperwork handled by a practising Company Secretary.
Contact UsA One Person Company is registered under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 through the MCA SPICe+ process — the same flow as a Private Limited Company but with a single shareholder who must also appoint a nominee (both Indian citizens; the member must be a resident or an NRI per the post-2021 rules). It needs a minimum of 1 director, has no minimum capital, gives full limited-liability protection, and is typically incorporated in 7–10 working days. Since 2021 an OPC can convert to a Private Limited Company voluntarily at any time with no turnover or capital threshold.
A One Person Company (OPC) was introduced by the Companies Act, 2013 to give solo founders the credibility of a Private Limited Company without the requirement of a co-founder. For consultants, freelancers, single-founder startups and proprietors looking to convert, OPC offers limited liability with single-person ownership.
Just one shareholder is needed. You retain 100% control while still operating as a private limited company in the eyes of the law and your bank.
Your personal assets are completely separated from business liabilities. The OPC is a distinct legal entity that can sue and be sued in its own name.
Banks and NBFCs prefer lending to incorporated entities. An OPC opens doors to working capital, credit lines and government tenders that proprietorships cannot access.
OPCs enjoy several relaxations — no mandatory AGM, simplified board meetings, abridged annual returns. Compliance is leaner than a multi-shareholder Pvt Ltd.
Fully online via the SPICe+ integrated form. End-to-end timeline: 7-10 working days.

Yes for serious businesses. OPC is a separate legal entity with limited liability, perpetual succession, easier credit access and tax benefits — none of which a proprietorship has.
Cost depends on authorised capital and state stamp duty. On request we can explain the applicable fees covering DSC, DIN, name approval, SPICe+, MOA/AOA, PAN, TAN. Call +91 90790 29004.
Mandatory conversion when paid-up capital > ₹2 crore or annual turnover > ₹20 crore. Voluntary conversion permitted after 2 years.
No. OPCs are exempt from holding Annual General Meetings — a key compliance relief over Private Limited Companies.
