Overview
What is One Person Company (OPC)?
An OPC is a company with one member and a nominee, giving an eligible solo founder a separate corporate vehicle. It can suit a founder who wants formal ownership and limited liability without adding a co-founder solely for incorporation.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is one person company (opc) the right option for me?
It depends on your entity, activity, location and objective. We first review those facts and flag other registrations or approvals that may be a better fit.
Are government fees included?
Government, stamp, certification and third-party charges vary by application. Any professional quote should identify these separately before work begins.
How long will the process take?
Timing depends on document readiness, portal availability, department review and whether queries or inspections arise. We provide a practical estimate after reviewing the case, but authority approval dates cannot be guaranteed.
What happens after submission?
We track available status updates, coordinate replies to routine queries within scope and share the acknowledgement or approval. Material objections, hearings or specialist opinions may require a separate scope.
