One Person Company Registration: Complete Guide, Process & Pricing

Get limited liability and a separate legal identity without needing a co-founder — built for solo entrepreneurs who want to formalise and scale on their own.

Why this matters

Full ownership, limited liability. Run the company entirely on your own while your personal assets stay protected.

Easy to convert later. An OPC can convert to a private limited company as your business grows.

Separate legal identity. The company can contract, own assets and be sued independently of you.

Who this applies to

• Only one individual can be the sole shareholder and director
• A nominee must be appointed in case the owner is incapacitated
• The individual must be an Indian citizen and resident
• Not eligible for businesses wanting to do non-banking financial activities

What you'll need to get started

• PAN card and Aadhaar of the owner and nominee
• Passport-size photograph
• Proof of registered office (rent agreement / utility bill)
• Nominee's written consent (Form INC-3)

Common questions

Can I have more than one director in an OPC?

You can appoint additional directors for day-to-day management, but there can only be one shareholder.

What is the role of the nominee?

The nominee steps in as the member of the OPC if the original owner dies or becomes incapacitated — they don't have any role otherwise.

Can an OPC raise external funding?

OPCs face restrictions on raising equity funding, which is why many convert to a private limited company once they need investors.
