    Overview of One Person Company Registration

    One Person Company is a revolutionary concept and is a refinement of the structure of a sole proprietorship firm. Incorporation of OPCs encourages corporatization of micro businesses and entrepreneurships. Prior to the Companies Act, 2013 coming into effect, at least two shareholders were required to start a company. But, now the concept of One Person Company would provide tremendous opportunities for small businessmen and traders to do business as an enterprise and give them an opportunity to start their own ventures with a formal
    business structure.

    Section 3(1)(c) lays down that one person company is a kind of private company and incorporated for any lawful purposes by a natural person. One person company shall have a minimum of one director. Therefore, a One Person Company will be registered as a private company with one member and one director. By virtue of section 3(2) of the Act, an OPC may be formed either as a company limited by shares or a company limited by guarantee; or an unlimited liability company.

    Advantages of One Person Company Registration

    • Separate Legal Entity

      OPC has a separate legal entity that distinguishes between the promoter and the company and is capable of doing everything that an entrepreneur would do.

    • Limited Liability

      The promoter’s liability is limited in an OPC, in the event of a default or legal issues, to the extent of the value of shares owned.

    • Easy Availability of Funds

      OPC is a form of Private Company which can raise funds through venture capital, financial institutions, angel investors, etc. which Proprietorship will not be able to.

    • Less Compliance

      The Companies Act, 2013, provides certain privileges to the OPC pertaining to compliances, such as, an OPC need not prepare the cash flow statement. Further, the company secretary need not sign the books of accounts and annual returns and be signed only by the director. Minutes can be passed by the member easily by entering them into the minute book and signed by the sole member

    Things to Know

    Unique Name

    The proposed name selected by you should be unique and should not resemblethe name of an existing Company or Limited Liability Partnership. The words ‘‘One Person Company’’ shall be mentioned in brackets below the name of such company, wherever its name is printed, affixed or engraved.

    Share Capital

    Share capital of a company is divided into four parts:

    1. Authorized Share Capital: It means such capital as is authorized by the Memorandum of a company to be the maximum amount of share capital that can be raised by a company.
    2. Issued Share Capital: It means such capital as the company issues from time to time for subscription
    3. Subscribed Share Capital: It means such part of the capital which is for the time being subscribed by the members of a company
    4. Paid-up Share Capital: It means such aggregate amount of money credited as paid-up as is equivalent to the amount received as paid up in respect of shares issued and also includes any amount credited as paid-up in respect of shares of the company, but does not include any other amount received in respect of such shares, by whatever name called. There is no minimum paid-up share capital prescribed for One Person Company company. However, it is suggestible that the subscribers to the memorandum of association shall bring in some capital for carrying on the business operations of the company.

     

    Directors

    Director is a person appointed to the Board of a company. Board of Directors of a company are entitled to exercise all such powers and to do all such acts and things as the company is authorized to exercise and do except those which are specifically required to be exercised by a company in general meeting.
