Introduction to One Person Company (OPC)
One Person Company (OPC) registration in India, introduced under the Companies Act of 2013, allows a single individual to form a company, combining the benefits of a sole proprietorship and a traditional company structure.
Advantages of OPC:
- Legal Status : OPC gets a separate legal entity, protecting the founder from personal liability.
- Easy Fundraising : Easier fund-raising compared to proprietorship, attracting venture capitalists and angel investors.
- Reduced Compliance : Exemptions from certain compliance requirements simplify administrative obligations.
- Simple Incorporation : Can be established with one member and one nominee, with no minimum capital requirement.
- Efficient Management : Single-person management leads to swift decision-making and efficient operations.
- Perpetual Succession : OPC maintains continuity even with just one member.
Disadvantages of OPC:
- Suitable for Small Businesses : Primarily suitable for small-scale businesses due to the restriction of having only one member.
- Restrictions on Activities : Limits on engaging in certain activities like non-banking financial investments and charitable objectives.
- Ownership and Management : Lack of clear distinction between ownership and management may lead to ethical concerns or conflicts of interest.
Required Documents:
- Memorandum of Association (MoA)
- Articles of Association (AoA)
- Nominee's consent with PAN and Aadhaar card (via Form INC-3).
- Proof of Registered Office
