    Services Overview


    हिंदी में पढ़ें


    One Person Company in India was introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 to support entrepreneurs who on their own are capable of starting a venture by allowing them to create a single person economic entity. One of the primary advantages of a One Person Company (OPC) is that there can be only one member in an OPC, while a minimum of two members is needed for incorporating and maintaining a Private Limited Company or a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). Similar to a Private Limited Company, a One Person Company is a separate legal entity from its promoter, providing limited liability protection to its sole shareholder, while having continuity of business and being easy to incorporate.
