Overview

A sole proprietorship also known as a sole trader or a proprietorship is an unincorporated business that has just one owner who pays personal income tax on profits earned from the business.

On the other hand One Person Company is a company which has only one person as its member. An OPC is a type of business entity that has only one shareholder as its member. One Person Company provides more advantages such as limited Liability, Legal Status, and Corporate Identity, Quick Decision-Making, flexible in Management, easy bank operation reduced taxation burdens

Prerequisites of Converting Sole Proprietorship to OPC (One Person Company) :

  • A shareholder who shall be an Indian resident.

  • Minimum of one director, only individuals can be nominated as directors of the company.

  • The person appointed as the nominee.

  • The name of a One-Person Company shall end with the words '(OPC) Private Limited'

OPC is one of the easiest forms of corporate entities to manage. OPC is a hybrid of sole-proprietorship and corporate form of business. It has been given relaxations in the compliance requirements under the Companies Act.It is a form of a company where the compliance requirements are less than that of a private company

When it comes to the registration process there is no clear cut way to register a Sole Proprietorship and on the contrary, there is less compliance to register a One Person Company.

The concept of OPC opens up new business opportunities for sole proprietors and entrepreneurs who wish to enjoy the benefits of limited liability, and at the same time have a separate legal entity. OPC removes the hassle of finding the right partner to start business as a registered entity. It requires only one person who will act as member, shareholder and director.
