Advantages of a One Person Company
As we mentioned before, like all other types of business entities, an OPC has certain plusses and minuses. Here is a quick look at OPC advantages:
OPC Advantages #1. Compliance-related Exemptions
As per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, an OPC must comply with all the compliance requirements of a private limited company. However, the government has provided many compliance-related exemptions to one-person companies, making it easier for OPCs to manage their business.
OPC Advantages #2.Limited Liability
Earlier, single persons looking to company registration would opt for a sole proprietorship. However, the liability was unlimited that up the business owner’s personal assets at risk if the business suffered losses. However, in an OPC set-up, the liability of a shareholder is limited to his shareholding. Therefore, even if the business suffers losses, the personal assets of the owner are not at risk.
OPC Advantages #3. Basic Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for registering an OPC are as follows:
- At least one Director and only one shareholder (same or different persons)
One nominee - When paid-up capital > Rs.50 lakh and turnover >Rs. 2 Crores, you need to mandatorily convert the OPC to a private limited company
OPC Advantages #4. Social Recognition
For all practical purposes, an OPC is like a private limited company. People bestow a lot of trust in a private limited company making it easier to trust an OPC. Even during B2B (business-to-business) dealings, larger corporations prefer a company structure to a sole proprietorship. Also, being socially accepted allows you to attract quality talent and create an efficient talent pool.
