What is OPC Registration?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a company under the Companies Act, 2013 that has a single member as its owner. It is a separate legal entity with limited liability, so the owner's personal assets are generally protected from the company's debts.

It suits solo founders who want a company's credibility, with the ability to open bank accounts, sign contracts and invoice as a company. An OPC can be converted to a Private Limited Company when you bring in partners or investors.

Is this right for you?

Who this is for

A good fit if you

  • Are a solo founder who wants limited liability
  • Want to keep full ownership and control
  • Want a formal company without needing a co-founder
  • May convert to a Private Limited Company later

Something else may suit you better if

You want co-founders or investors now. A Private Limited Company is the better starting point.

You want the lowest possible compliance. A proprietorship has the least paperwork, but no liability protection.

You will have two or more owners. Consider an LLP or Private Limited Company.

Timeline & cost

How long it takes and what it costs

7–15working days, typically, from ready documents to your Certificate of Incorporation.

Actual timing depends on how quickly documents are ready and on the processing time of the authority involved.

Your total cost has two parts: our professional fee, and any government or statutory fees that apply. Government fees are set by the authority and vary by case, so we give you an itemised quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for packages.
