Overview
A One Person Company lets a single founder run a business with limited liability and a separate legal identity, without taking on a co-shareholder. You appoint a nominee who steps in only in specified circumstances, so the company has continuity.
CapEasy handles the OPC incorporation through SPICe+ and explains the points worth knowing up front — such as the turnover and capital thresholds at which an OPC must convert to a private limited company — so the structure still fits you a year or two from now.
Who it’s for
- Solo founders who want limited liability and a formal company
- Consultants and single-owner businesses that want corporate credibility
- Founders not yet ready to bring on co-founders or external investors
Eligibility & requirements
- One director/shareholder who is a resident Indian individual
- One nominee (a resident Indian individual) who consents in writing
- A registered office address in India with valid proof
How CapEasy handles it
- Confirm OPC is the right fit versus a private limited company or sole proprietorship
- Obtain the DSC and reserve the company name
- Prepare the MoA, AoA, nominee consent (INC-3) and the SPICe+ forms
- File with the Registrar and clear any queries
- Hand over the certificate of incorporation, PAN, TAN and next-step compliance
Documents you’ll typically need
- PAN and Aadhaar of the founder and the nominee
- Photographs and address proof for both
- Registered-office proof with a utility bill and a no-objection certificate or rent agreement
