One Person Company · OPC · Single Shareholder · Companies Act 2013

One Person Company the power of a company, owned entirely by you.

End-to-end OPC registration in Mumbai and across India — name reservation, nominee appointment, MOA and AOA drafting, DSC and DIN, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation, and post-incorporation compliance for solo entrepreneurs and individual business owners.

A One Person Company (OPC) is a Private Limited Company with only one shareholder, introduced under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013. It gives solo entrepreneurs the benefits of a corporate structure — separate legal entity, limited liability, perpetual succession — without requiring a second promoter.

An OPC requires one member and one nominee. A foreign national or NRI cannot incorporate an OPC in India. Mandatory conversion to Pvt Ltd is required when paid-up capital exceeds Rs 50 lakh or annual turnover exceeds Rs 2 crore for three consecutive years.

Our OPC registration practice covers eligibility assessment, name reservation, nominee documentation, DSC and DIN, MOA and AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation, INC-20A commencement declaration, GST registration, and conversion advisory when the threshold is reached.
