OPC
Opc Public Limited
One Person Company is a corporate version of sole proprietorship. Introduced by Companies Act, 2013, a One person Company Private Limited enables an individual to run one man show. OPC is best suited for individuals running their business as proprietor or a single founder in the initial phase. This is the only form of corporation wherein a single person can incorporate and start the business. Upon reaching a threshold of Rs 20 million, the OPC Private Limited would have to convert itself into a Private Limited Company. The compliance norms for a OPC are more relaxed when compare with other forms of corporation.
