COnversion of Sole Proprietorship to OPC

All you need to know

A sole proprietorship also referred to as a sole trader or a proprietorship is an unincorporated business that has just one owner who pays personal income tax on profits earned from the business.

 

One Person company on the other hand is a company which has only one person as its member. An OPC is effectively a company that has only one shareholder as its member. One person company provides more advantages such as Limited Liability, legal Status, and Corporate Identity, Quick Decision-Making, Flexible in Management, easy bank operation, and reduced taxation burdens.

 

Prerequisites of Converting Sole Proprietorship to One Person Company:

  • One shareholder who shall be a Indian resident.
  • Minimum one director, Only individuals can be designated as directors of a company.
  • A person appointed as nominee.
  • The name of a One-Person Company shall end with the words ‘(OPC) Private Limited’

 

OPC is one of the easiest forms of corporate entities to manage. OPC is a hybrid of Sole-Proprietorship and Corporate form of business. It has been provided with concessions in compliance requirements under the Companies Act. It is a form of a company where the compliance requirements are lesser than a private company.

 

When it comes to registration process there is no explicit way to register a Sole Proprietorship and on the contrary, there is lesser compliance which is to be followed for registering a One Person Company.

 

The concept of OPC opens up new business opportunities for sole proprietors and entrepreneurs who also wish to enjoy the advantages of limited liability, and a separate legal entity as well. OPC does away the hassles of finding the right partner for starting a business as the registered entity. It requires only one person who will act as a member, shareholder and director.
