WELCOME TO One Person Company Registration
OPC structure would be similar to that of a proprietorship concern without the ills generally faced by the proprietors. One of the most important features of OPC is that the risk mitigated is limited to the extent of the value of shares held by such person in the company. This would enable entrepreneurial minded persons to take the risks of doing business without bothering the litigation and liabilities which have been attached with the personal assets.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, currently, two persons are required to form a private limited company. This forces the entrepreneur to find yet another like-minded person with whom he will be able to carry out the business. He is also required to share the business information with another person by no guarantee of business secrecy and commitment. Such a situation quite often de-motivates the entrepreneurial minded persons from venturing into a business
In OPC (One Person Company) the business head is the decision maker, he is not dependent on others for suggestions or implementation of suggestions etc., resulting in quicker and easier decision making. He is the sole person who runs the business and hence, the question of consensus or majority opinion etc., would not arise.
If a business currently runs under the proprietorship model, it can easily get converted into OPCs without any difficulty.
OPC require minimum capital, to begin with. Being a recognized corporate it could raise the capital from others like venture capital, financial institutions, etc., hence it can uplift itself as a private limited or a public limited company under the Companies Act.
