One Person Company means a company which has only one member'. It shall also be important to note that Section 3 classifies OPC as a Private Company for all the legal purposes with only one member. All the provisions related to the private company are applicable to an OPC, unless otherwise expressly excluded. The only exception provided by the Act to an OPC is that according to the rules only "NATURALLY-BORN" Indian who is also a resident of India is eligible to incorporate an OPC. Meaning thereby, the advantages of an OPC can only be obtained by those INDIANs who are naturally born and also a resident of India.
The right structure for solo entrepreneurs looking beyond the opportunities a sole proprietorship affords
Liability of director in OPC is limited to his shareholding, director's personal property or wealth is protected. In event of any loss or down fall his personal properties will not be attached.
Sole Proprietorships come to an end with the loss of life of the proprietor. As an OPC has a separate legal identity, it would pass on to the nominee director and, therefore, proceed to exist.
As an OPC needs to have its books audited annually, and submissions are to be made to ROC. Once filing is done financial becomes public documents. OPC has higher credibility amongst vendors and lending institutions.
