Why solo founders
choose an OPC
Limited liability
Your personal assets stay separate from the company's debts.
Full control
You own 100% of the company and make every decision yourself.
Company credibility
A "Private Limited" name builds trust with clients, banks and vendors.
Room to grow
No turnover cap — and you can convert to a Private Limited company whenever you're ready.
Who can register
- One member — an Indian citizen, resident or NRI
- A nominee — also an Indian citizen, with written consent

OPC or Proprietorship?
Both are for one owner. The difference is liability and how you're seen.
| One Person Company | Proprietorship | |
|---|---|---|
| Liability | Limited to your investment | Unlimited — personal assets at risk |
| Legal identity | Separate company | Same as the owner |
| Set up through | Incorporation with MCA | GST, Udyam and local licenses |
| Yearly compliance | Audit, AOC-4, MGT-7A, ITR | Income tax return (and GST, if registered) |
| Best for | Solo founders planning to grow | Small shops, freelancers, local trade |
After incorporation
OPC annual compliance — ₹[price]
Financial statements (AOC-4), annual return (MGT-7A) and income tax return filed on time every year.
See what's included →Frequently asked questions
Who can start an OPC?
Any Indian citizen — resident or NRI — who is not a minor. You also need a nominee who is an Indian citizen.
Is there a turnover limit for an OPC?
No. Since April 2021 there's no capital or turnover limit that forces an OPC to convert. You can convert to a Private Limited company whenever you choose.
Can I add shareholders later?
Not as an OPC — it has only one member. To bring in partners or investors, convert it into a Private Limited company.
Does an OPC need an AGM?
No. An OPC doesn't hold an annual general meeting, but it still files audited financial statements, an annual return and an income tax return every year.
What does the nominee do?
If the owner dies or can't manage the company, the nominee becomes the member — so the business can continue.
How long does OPC registration take?
Usually 7–10 working days after we receive complete documents, depending on MCA approval timelines.
