One person Company (OPC) Registration in India
One Person Company (OPC) allows an Individual entrepreneur to operate as a corporate entity with limited liability procurement.
The concept of One Person Company (OPC) in India was introduced in 2013 through the Companies Act, 2013 to assist entrepreneurs who are capable of starting a venture and want to create a single person economic entity. The most significant advantage of a One Person Company (OPC) is that there can be only one shareholder, while a minimum two persons is required to incorporate a Private Limited Company or a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). One Person Company is a separate legal entity and granting limited liability protection to its sole shareholder while having continuity of business and being easy to incorporate.
Thus, One Person Company is the preferred vehicle for Individual entrepreneurs, for any industry or activities such as Trade, Service & Manufacturing.
Advantages of One person Company (OPC)
- Limited Liability
OPC is an alternative corporate form of business that gives the benefits of limited liability as a Private limited company as well as the flexibility of proprietorship firms. In proprietorship owner’s personal assets are at stake, and if any misfortune happens, he needs to bear all the loss. While in OPC, the liability of the owner is limited.
- Complete Company Control
In One person company there is only one owner and they are allowed to have employees. The Owner controls decision making and everything that goes on in the business and does not have to seek the approval of a board of directors, stockholders or anyone else. That leads to fast decision making and execution resulting the rapid growth of the company.
- No Minimum Capital
Companies Act, 2013 prescribes the minimum share capital for private company registration. Where the minimum criteria are provided to keep Rs 100,000 as Authorized Capital, the requirement of minimum paid-up capital is removed by said Act. No minimum paid-up capital is prescribed, and it should be based on business requirements.
- Separate Legal Entity
One Person Company (OPC) allows an Individual entrepreneur to operate as a corporate entity. One Person Company (OPC) distinguished itself from its promoter and having continuity of business. However, In the event of death or retirement of the owner, The Nominee mentioned in the memorandum of association will become a member of the company.
- Borrowing Capacity
One Person Company have a Private Limited Structure i.e. the most popular business structure and gives suppliers and consumers a sense of confidence in business. Banking and financial institutions prefer to lend money to the company rather than proprietary firms. It is always better to register your startup as a One Person private limited rather than a proprietary firm.
- Less Compliance burden
OPCs have been provided with a number of exemptions. The provisions of Sec. 98 and Sec. 100 to Sec. 111, relating to holding of annual general meetings, shall not apply to One person company.
