When we possess a unique idea and ample resources to initiate a company, with the intention of retaining sole control over profits, opting for One Person Company (OPC) Registration emerges as the preferable choice. The introduction of the One Person Company (OPC) concept in India under the Companies Act of 2013 marked a significant milestone by simplifying legal formalities. This initiative aimed at promoting the corporatization of micro and small businesses, alleviating the burden on small entrepreneurs who would otherwise expend excessive time, energy, and resources on intricate legal processes. Consequently, this not only contributed to economic development but also fostered the creation of new employment opportunities.
Indian residents, specifically Indian nationals, can pursue One Person Company (OPC) Registration, and existing sole proprietorship businesses can undergo the process to convert into an OPC. The One Person Company serves as an incredibly convenient form of business entity, particularly for individuals unable to find a suitable partner or those who prefer not to share their business ideas and profits. Despite being in its early stages in India, the concept of OPC enjoys widespread recognition.
The One Person Company concept holds a positive future for small traders, entrepreneurs with low risk taking capacity, artisans and other service providers. The One Person Company (OPC) would act as a launch pad for such entrepreneurs to showcase their capabilities in the global arena. After One Person Company (OPC) Registration, it will get a legal personality unlike a Proprietorship and is registered under the Companies Act and is governed by the Company Law/Corporate Law. It has a separate identity but different from the owner of the One Person Company (OPC). Since a One Person Company (OPC) assumes its own personality, the rights and duties of a One Person Company (OPC) are different from those enjoyed by the Owners of the One Person Company (OPC). The shareholder of a One Person Company (OPC) is not its proprietors, but mere suppliers of capital. One Person Company (OPC) can sue and be sued on its own name.
After One Person Company (OPC) Registration, there is provision for conversion to other types of legal entities by induction of more members and amendment in the Memorandum of Association. So in future if the One Person Company needs more support, it will be eassier. There is no need to chasnge the name at that time, because the name is already registered with Registrar of Companies.
The One Person Company has only one Share Holder. Hence owner’s word will be the final decison. No other person can interfere in the Management of an OPC
An incorporated One Person Company (OPC) is an entity with perpetual succession. The death of a proprietor does not affect the existence of the One Person Company (OPC).
One Person Company is basically a Private Limited Company. It gives the individual entrepreneurs all the benefits of a company, which means they will get credit, bank loans, access to market, limited liability, and legal protection available to companies by virtue of acquiring the legal status and perpetuity.
The volume of compliance by a one person company is much lesser in terms of filing returns, balance sheets, audit etc. Compare to Private Limited Companies, One Person Company has relaxation on compulsory holding of meetings.
