## Why One Person Company?

The ideal structure for solo entrepreneurs who want the credibility and protection of a company without needing a co-founder.

01

### Solo Founder Friendly

Only one member required. No need for a second director or shareholder — you run the entire company yourself.

02

### Limited Liability

Your personal assets are protected from business debts. Company liabilities stay within the company, not with you personally.

03

### Separate Legal Entity

Own a bank account, enter contracts, and own property in the company's name. Clients and banks treat you as a registered business.

04

### Easy Path to Pvt Ltd

When your business grows, OPC converts smoothly to a Private Limited Company. You don't need to start over.

## Legal Framework

OPCs are governed under the Companies Act 2013 with specific provisions for single-member companies.

**Companies Act 2013, Section 2(62):** "One Person Company" means a company which has only one person as a member.

**Section 3(1)(c):** A company may be formed for any lawful purpose by one person — forming a One Person Company that is a private company.

**Mandatory Conversion:** An OPC must convert to a Private Limited Company if its paid-up share capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or its average annual turnover exceeds ₹2 crore during the relevant period. A nominee director must be appointed at the time of incorporation, who takes over in case of the member's death or incapacity.

## Registration Process

We handle the entire process — from DSC to your Certificate of Incorporation.

1

### Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

DSC obtained for the sole member. Mandatory for signing all MCA filings electronically.

2

### Nominee Consent (Form INC-3)

A nominee is appointed who will take over the OPC in case of the member's death or incapacity. Consent obtained via Form INC-3.

3

### Name Reservation via RUN

Proposed company name checked for availability and reserved through the MCA's Reserve Unique Name (RUN) portal.

4

### SPICe+ Filing with MOA and AOA

Memorandum and Articles of Association drafted and filed with the Registrar of Companies via the SPICe+ integrated form.

5

### Certificate of Incorporation (COI)

ROC issues COI with CIN. Your OPC is now a legally incorporated company with its own PAN and identity.

## Documents Required

From the sole member, the nominee, and for the registered office address.
