One Person Company (OPC) is a unique form of business structure that allows single entrepreneurs to operate their businesses with limited liability. In OPC, a single individual acts as both the owner and director, enjoying the benefits of a private limited company while simplifying the ownership structure. This guide provides an in-depth understanding of proprietorship in the context of OPC, including its definition, advantages, legal requirements, and the steps to establish one.
In OPC, the term "proprietorship" refers to the ownership structure where a single individual, known as the "member," holds all the shares and controls the company's operations. This individual is the sole decision-maker and is responsible for all aspects of the business.
The member’s liability is limited to the extent of their share capital, safeguarding personal assets from business-related liabilities.
OPCs are simpler to manage compared to traditional companies with multiple shareholders and directors, reducing administrative complexities.
OPCs are subject to favourable tax rates and exemptions available to small companies, promoting growth and profitability.
