A OPC is a type of Private Limited Company where minimum and maximum number of members is one. The One Person Company (OPC) was recently introduced as a strong improvement over the sole proprietorship OPC has limited liability of its members unlike in a partnership firm. It gives a single promoter full control over the company while limiting his/her liability to contributions to the business. This person will be the only director and shareholder (there is a nominee director, but with no power until the original director is incapable of entering into contract). The OPC is one of the most credible structure and preferred over a Proprietorship.
