About this Service
A One Person Company (OPC) is a corporate form launched by the Companies Act, 2013 that enables a single person to run a business with the perks of a company setup. A business registered as an OPC is distinct from its owner, so the company as a separate legal entity is totally independent of who the owner is. OPC is empowered to hold property contract bank account, employ staff and carry on business in its own name. It is a great choice by freelancers consultants professionals, online sellers, startup founders and small business owners who want to have a business with improved credibility, protection under the law and organized structure but at the same time with full ownership and control.
