Overview and benefits

• A One Person Company is formed under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, with one member who may also be its director. It has a separate legal identity, a CIN, its own PAN and the ability to hold property, contract and operate a bank account.
• Suited to freelancers, consultants, solo software or product founders, single-owner digital and design agencies, trainers, coaches, import-export traders, e-commerce and D2C founders, and independent architecture practices.
• Limited liability up to the member’s shareholding, complete ownership control, business credibility and access to business loans. Unlike a sole proprietorship, the company is legally separate from its owner.
• A mandatory nominee supports continuity if the member dies or becomes incapacitated. OPCs are exempt from an Annual General Meeting.
• The document describes priority lending, subsidy schemes and deductible business expenses for OPCs registered under MSME; it does not guarantee entitlement to any scheme.
• An OPC is a private company with one member and at least one director, rather than the minimum two members and two directors of a private limited company. It must use “(OPC) Private Limited” in its name and cannot issue equity to investors while retaining its single-member structure.

Eligibility and requirements
