A brief about OPC Formation
One Person Company Registration in India is a combination sole proprietorship and corporate forms of business. One Person Company (OPC) structure was introduced in India in 2013 as an extension of sole proprietorship. In an OPC, a single promoter gets complete control of the business. Thus, OPC is formed with only one person as a member unlike traditional Company Formation with at least two members It is a suitable business formation for small traders wishing to expand its opportunities with corporate identity. We offer very simple and quick OPC Registration in India.
Advantages over a Sole Proprietorship
Unique Name: Unlike Sole proprietor firm, an OPC name is secure and cannot be copied by others.
Separate Legal Entity: As per Companies Act, an OPC is an artificial judicial person which is a separate legal entity from its Director or Promoter. Thus a OPC enjoys a wider legal capacity to own assets and properties and incur debts whereas the individual member owe no liability towards the company’s creditors for debts.
Limited Liability: A Company has a limited liability towards a limited amount of debts. The liability of the single member with reference to the Company’s debts is limited to the face value of the share owned by him. This limited liability protection is a unique feature of a OPC in India instead of single ownership.
Smooth Succession: An OPC must appoint a nominee for the OPC. On the death/disability of the promoter/director, company can be succeeded by nominee. He will be entitled to all shares of the OPC and also bears all liabilities.
Few exemptions in OPC Compliance: Some compliance applicable for a Private Limited Company are exempted for OPC, like EGM, Notice of Meeting, Chairman of Meeting etc.
Less Tax Rates: Being a Company an OPC has less Income Tax Rate as compare to sole proprietorship business.
Key benefits of an OPC
Better Image and Credibility in the Market: An One Person Company always carries a better image and credibility in respect of its customers as well as investors. Corporates, Vendors and Government agencies prefer to deal with a Private Limited Company.
Better positioned to raise Funds & Loans: An OPC carries a wide range of options to raise funds from bank loans, Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists in comparison to LLPs and OPCs.
Limited Liability Protection: As a Company, an OPC has a limited liability towards a limited amount of debts. The liability of the member with reference to the Company’s debts is limited to the face value of the share owned by them. This limited liability protection is a unique feature of a Private OPC in India that protects the Director personal assets unlike a proprietorship firm.
Less Compliance: OPC is one of the easiest forms of corporate entity. Some filings and compliance are exempted for an OPC, which are applicable for other Company Formations in India.
