What is One Person Company (OPC) Registration?
One Person Company (OPC) Registration enables a single entrepreneur to establish a company with a separate legal identity. Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, the OPC structure offers the benefits of a Private Limited Company—like limited liability and perpetual succession—while requiring only one director and one shareholder.
OPC is ideal for solo business owners who want to scale operations, build credibility, and enjoy tax and compliance benefits. Unlike sole proprietorships, an OPC provides a corporate shield to protect personal assets. With UrbanDox, registering an OPC becomes hassle-free, fully digital, and backed by legal expertise at every step.
