Register your One Person Company in 7–14 working days.
A One Person Company (OPC) lets you run a proper company on your own, with your personal assets kept separate from the business. No co-founder needed. We check your name, write your company rulebook (MoA and AoA), add your nominee and file everything. Every filing is checked by a Chartered Accountant or Company Secretary.
Who it is for
- You are a solo founder, consultant or developer.
- You want your personal assets kept separate from the business.
- Clients ask you to contract as a company rather than in your own name.
- You run a proprietorship and want to move it into a company.
When something else fits better
You have a co-founder, or plan to bring in investors soon. Consider a Private Limited company.
You are a foreign national. Only Indian citizens can form an OPC. Consider a Private Limited company.

Questions
How long does it take?
Usually 7–14 working days once we have all your documents. It can take a few days longer if the name you want is rejected, the government portal asks for changes, or a digital signature takes time to verify.
Who can form an OPC?
Only an individual who is an Indian citizen, not a company. Each person can form only one OPC.
What does the nominee do?
Your nominee is the person who takes over the company if you die or can no longer run it. They sign a consent form (INC-3). You can change your nominee later.
Do I have to hold an AGM?
No. An OPC does not need an annual general meeting (AGM). It still files its accounts and a yearly return.
Can I convert to a Private Limited company later?
Yes. You can convert at any time by adding directors and shareholders to meet the Private Limited minimums. We file the conversion for you.
