One Person Company Registration
Build a corporate business on your own terms. OPC gives solo entrepreneurs the full protection of a registered company — limited liability, separate legal identity, and zero need for a co-founder.
Overview
One Person Company was introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 to empower solo entrepreneurs to operate in a structured corporate form without requiring partners or shareholders. It combines the simplicity of a proprietorship with the legal protection of a Private Limited Company.
If you want full ownership, full control, and full liability protection — OPC is built for you. Dhanvika manages your OPC registration from DSC to incorporation in as little as 7–10 working days.
Why Register as OPC
- Only one member required — complete ownership and control
- Limited liability — personal assets are fully protected
- Separate legal entity — can sign contracts, open bank accounts, own assets
- Perpetual succession — nominee takes over in case of member's death
- Higher credibility and easier bank financing than a proprietorship
- Fewer compliances compared to a Private Limited Company

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OPC and Proprietorship?
OPC has limited liability, a separate legal identity, and perpetual succession. A proprietorship offers none of these — your personal assets are at risk.
Is a nominee mandatory for OPC?
Yes. A nominee must be appointed at the time of incorporation who will take control if the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated.
Can an OPC be converted to a Private Limited Company later?
Yes. Once turnover crosses ₹2 crore or paid-up capital crosses ₹50 lakh, conversion to Pvt Ltd is mandatory.
