Register Your One Person Company
A one-person corporation (OPC) is a business that has only one owner. Before the Companies Act of 2013 took effect, corporations could only be formed by two people. An individual could only establish a sole proprietorship if they wanted to open a business because a company could only be established with a minimum of two directors and two members.
