One Person Company Registration : An Overview of OPC

Compared to a sole proprietorship, an OPC is better for solo entrepreneurs because their liability is limited. A one-person company differs from a sole proprietorship because it is a separate legal entity that distinguishes between the promoter and the company. When an OPC fails, or there are legal issues, the promoter’s liability is limited. Contrary to OPC, the liability for debts due by a sole proprietorship does extend to the individual, and their entire assets could be used to repay the debt. However, note that if it has revenues of over Rs. 20 crores and paid-up capital of over Rs.2 Crores, it needs to be converted into a private limited company or public limited company.One person company registration process has become easier with SKAI Tax Solution expert support.

The concept of One Person Company is quite revolutionary. It gives the individual entrepreneurs all the company’s benefits, which means they will get credit, bank loans, access to the market, limited liability, and legal protection available to companies by acquiring legal status and perpetuity.

What are the benefits of One Person Company Registration?

Obtaining funds is easy

Since OPC is a private company, it is easy to raise money through venture capital, angel investors, incubators, etc. Companies are more likely to receive loans than sole proprietorships from banks and financial institutions

Compliance Burden

According to section 2(68) of the Companies Act, 2013, a one-person company is included in the definition of a private limited company. OPCs will have to comply with the same provisions as private companies. However, due to several exemptions, OPCs have a lower compliance burden than others.

Limited Liability

In an OPC, members benefit from limited liability since their liability is limited to the unpaid subscription amount. Unlike a sole proprietorship, the OPC gives individuals the ability to take risks without risking their personal assets.OPC is a separate legal entity that protects the one individual who has incorporated it.

Easy to Manage

No requirement to hold annual or Extra-Ordinary General Meetings. A One Person company shall hold at least one board meeting every six months, and a gap of not less than 90 days must exist between the meetings.

What is the difference between an OPC and a Sole Proprietorship?

Unlimited Liability

In a sole proprietorship, liability is unlimited, which means that if the company incurs losses, both the company and the owner’s assets may be used to pay off the debt. On the other hand, an OPC is a separate legal entity, and therefore its owner has limited liability if the company suffers a loss.

Taxation

OPCs are liable for taxes as Private Limited Companies by being incorporated. An OPC is not taxed separately from a partnership and will be taxed by the provisions of the Income Tax Act. For a sole proprietorship, the income is taxed as the owner’s income, who is taxed accordingly.

Shareholder

As the name indicates, the One Person Company can be registered with one shareholder. The shareholder owns 100% of the company and is its sole owner. Members of OPC must be natural persons and not corporations or other artificial bodies. A person must be a resident of India and competent to contract. In addition to the member, the company needs to appoint a nominee.

For a private company, two shareholders are required. The maximum number of shareholders is 200. An artificial person can also own shares in this company, such as a company or a limited liability company.

Fund Raising

As OPC can only have one member, equity investment by investors is not possible. However, private companies can raise funds by issuing equity in various ways, including through private placements, right issues, venture capital, etc.
