One Person Company (OPC)
Corporate structure, limited liability, single founder.
We handle the nominee arrangement, name approval and incorporation filing so a solo founder gets the benefits of a company structure without needing a second shareholder.
What is One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company (OPC) is a private company that can be incorporated with a single member, introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 specifically for solo entrepreneurs who want limited liability without bringing in a co-founder.
It combines the operational simplicity a sole founder wants with the legal separation and limited liability protection of a company structure — the founder's personal assets stay protected from business liabilities.
Gurur Consultancy manages the nominee director/member requirement, name approval and incorporation filing, and explains the conditions under which an OPC must later convert to a private or public company.
