Get StartedConvert Proprietorship to OPC
One person company is an improved and better form of a sole proprietorship firm. One person companies are a great business organization structure for medium-sized businesses. One person company is an improved and better form of a sole proprietorship firm and thus conversion of sole proprietorship into One Person Company is a good business decision. This business structure gives the single promoter a full control over the company and at the same time limiting his liabilities to safeguard his personal assets. The owner of this company is a shareholder. Similar to Private Company, OPC may also appoint a distinct individual as director for its management. Appointment of a nominee is mandatory in case of OPC.
Benefits of OPC over sole proprietorship
Separate Legal Entity hence limited liability
Protection of the company’s personal assets assures that the owner has limited liability to the extent of his/her own share.
Opens better business avenue's
Large organizations prefer to deal with OPC instead of proprietorship firms. OPC is registered just like a private company and private companies are the trusted form of business which makes it easy for them to get funding from the financial institutions. It gives suppliers and customers a sense of confidence in the business.
An easy to manage structure
The structure of OPC is manageable as there is only one member. There is no requirement to hold an annual or added ordinary general meeting. There is no requirement to wait for anyone’s approval as there is only one person who is the single authority to make decisions.
Organized Structure
The OPC gives the company a structure similar to a private limited company and hence make it organized with the benefit of limited liability. A sole proprietorship does not provide an organized structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
The capital requirement of OPC and a private limited company are the same. It needs an authorized capital of ₹1 lakh, to begin with. But, none of this actually needs to be paid-up. This means that you don’t really need to invest any money into the business. The capital should not be more than ₹50 lakh during incorporation.
Once a Company is incorporated, it will be active and in-existence as long as the annual compliance is met regularly. In case, annual compliance is not complied with, the Company will become a Dormant Company and may be struck off from the register after a period of time. A struck-off Company can be revived for a period of up to 20 years.
- An OPC limited by shares must comply with the following requirements:
o Must have a minimum authorized share capital of ₹ 1 Lac.
o Transfer of shares to anyone else is not allowed.
o An OPC is prohibited from giving any invitations to the public to subscribe to the securities of the company. - When the OPC limited by shares or by guarantee, enters into a contract with the sole member of the company who is also the director of the company; the terms of contract or offer must be recorded in writing. Also, the same must be contained in a memorandum or recorded in the minutes of the Board meeting held next after entering into the contact.
- An OPC must inform the Registrar about every contract entered into by the company with the sole member of the company within a period of fifteen days from the date of approval.
