Solo entrepreneur? OPC is for you.
Enjoy Pvt Ltd benefits as a single founder with simpler compliance.
Overview
One Person Company (OPC) is India's only legal structure that lets a single founder enjoy the limited-liability protection of a Pvt Ltd company without needing a co-founder. Introduced by the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 2(62)), OPC was designed specifically for solo entrepreneurs — freelancers scaling up, consultants formalising their practice, single-product founders, and family-business successors who want a clean separate legal entity without dragging in a second director.
An OPC is treated almost exactly like a Pvt Ltd in the eyes of MCA, banks, customers and tax authorities. You get a Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST eligibility, the ability to open a current account, raise debt against the company, accept B2B invoices, and protect your personal assets from business liability. The only fundamental difference: there's just one shareholder and one mandatory nominee (who steps in if you become incapacitated).
RegisterEase handles every step of OPC registration online. We file your name reservation (Form RUN), procure your DIN and DSC, draft your MoA and AoA, name your nominee, file SPICe+ with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and deliver your COI, PAN and TAN — all in 10–12 working days. The process is 100% paperless and you'll never need to step into an MCA office.
OPC has limits worth knowing. It cannot have more than ₹50 lakh of paid-up capital or ₹2 crore of average turnover (rolling 3-year basis). Cross either threshold and you must convert to Pvt Ltd within 6 months — this is mandatory, not optional. Many founders use OPC for years 1–2 and convert at the funding stage. RegisterEase manages the conversion seamlessly when the time comes.
Compared to a sole proprietorship, OPC offers far better brand credibility, easier vendor onboarding with enterprise customers, lower personal liability risk, structured tax planning at the 22% corporate rate, and a clean exit path through conversion or sale. The compliance load is slightly higher than proprietorship — annual filings (MGT-7A, AOC-4), one auditor, and DIR-3 KYC — but RegisterEase's compliance packages take care of all of it for ₹10,000–₹15,000/year.

RegisterEase follows Google's helpful, people-first content guidance — transparent authorship, transparent process, transparent purpose.
This one person company (opc) registration page is written and reviewed by practising Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries and Advocates on the RegisterEase editorial panel. Every guide is fact-checked against MCA, GSTN, CBDT and IPO primary sources before publishing, and re-verified after each Ministry notification or Union Budget update.
You submit documents once. A verified expert is assigned inside 24 hours, drafts every form, files with the concerned authority (Start Business), and posts progress into your 9-stage tracker. Government fees are pass-through at actuals — you can see line-item receipts in your dashboard.
Indian founders lose 40+ hours a year chasing consultants, portal errors and missing acknowledgements. RegisterEase exists to compress that into a single transparent workflow — one dashboard, one invoice, verified experts, and a money-back guarantee if we miss the committed timeline. No hidden charges, no lock-ins, no reselling.

Customer Reviews
Real reviews from 18+ verified founders who registered their Private Limited Company with RegisterEase. From Mumbai to Guwahati, Kolkata to Kochi.
I was honestly tired of agents asking ₹15-20k upfront with no clarity. Paid only ₹2,499 on RegisterEase, my draft MoA and AoA were ready on day 4, and they explained every clause before submitting SPICe+. Incorporation certificate landed on day 16. The transparent state-wise stamp duty calculator was the deciding factor for me.
My co-founder is in Singapore so we needed help with the Apostille for his director documents. The relationship manager handled the entire foreign-director workflow without us chasing. DIN, DSC and PAN/TAN all came together. Will recommend to every founder I meet.
Other portals quoted me ₹9,500 'all-inclusive' and then asked extra for AoA stamp duty. Here the calculator showed me Tamil Nadu stamp duty (₹520) upfront. Final cost matched the quote to the rupee. That's rare in this industry.
Whole process was clean — got name approval in 5 days, MoA review email arrived as promised. The eMudhra DSC was slightly delayed because of the video KYC re-attempt, but support called and resolved it the same evening. 4 stars only because of that one delay, otherwise easily 5.
Stamp duty in Gujarat is on the higher side because of the AoA percentage rule. Their team explained it patiently and even suggested keeping authorised capital at ₹1 lakh to save ~₹2,500. Tiny advice that mattered. Got my COI within 19 days end-to-end.
What sold me was that I paid ₹1,499 upfront and reviewed all the drafts before paying the balance. I made 2 changes to the MoA object clause and they redid it without complaining. This is how every legal service should work.
We are a D2C apparel brand and needed a watertight object clause covering both manufacturing and marketplace sales. The CA spent a full 25 minute call with me drafting it. Two MCA queries were resolved by their team without me even knowing. Incorporation certificate landed in 18 days.
Pro plan was worth the extra ₹1,000. They verified all my docs the same evening I uploaded. Telangana stamp duty was correctly calculated (we have the 0.15% AoA rule). MSME certificate also done as part of the package. Highly professional outfit.
I had zero idea about MCA, SPICe+, INC-32 — all of it. Their executive walked me through every form on a screen-share call. Even helped me pick the right NIC code for my consultancy business. Got the COI in 22 days. Thank you team!
