One Person Company (OPC) Registration

One Person Company (OPC) is a revolutionary business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 that allows a single individual to incorporate a private limited entity with limited liability protection and full ownership. OPC is ideal for solo founders who want to enjoy the legal benefits of a company without needing a partner.

Unlike proprietorships, an OPC is a separate legal entity, meaning it can hold assets, sue or be sued, and enter contracts independently. It also boosts credibility with banks, customers, and vendors.

At Startup Bharat, we help you register your OPC quickly and legally, offering:

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Director Identification Number (DIN)
Name approval through SPICe+
Drafting of MOA & AOA
Filing incorporation documents
PAN, TAN, and Certificate of Incorporation

OPC is the perfect solution for freelancers, consultants, e-commerce founders, and anyone looking to formalize their business without losing individual control.

Why One Person Company (OPC) Registration

The perfect structure for solo founders who want legal protection and full control
Offers limited liability, separate legal identity, and startup eligibility benefits
Registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)

One Person Company (OPC) is a forward-thinking business model designed for individual entrepreneurs who want to operate as a company without needing partners. Unlike proprietorships, OPCs offer a separate legal identity, meaning the business can own property, open bank accounts, and enter contracts in its own name.

What makes OPC powerful is that it combines the simplicity of a sole proprietorship with the legal security of a private limited company — including limited liability protection, full ownership control, and enhanced credibility in the eyes of clients, investors, and institutions.

At Startup Bharat, we help individual founders convert their passion projects or consulting work into a fully registered company, ready to access government schemes, business loans, and formal growth opportunities. OPC registration is especially useful for freelancers, solo startups, e-commerce sellers, and consultants who want to scale professionally.
