About One Person Company
A One Person Company lets a single founder enjoy the benefits of a company — limited liability, a separate legal identity and perpetual succession — without needing a second shareholder.
NewStarts sets up your OPC through SPICe+, including the nominee consent, MoA and AoA, PAN and TAN. We also explain when converting to a private limited company makes sense, for example when you want to bring in co-founders or investors.
What is One Person Company?
A One Person Company is a private company under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 with only one member, who must be an Indian citizen, and a nominee who takes over membership if the member dies or becomes incapacitated.
