Expansion Limits
The single-member structure may become less suitable as ownership, investment, and management needs expand.
Company Registration
One Person Company (OPC)
One Person Company (OPC) combines single ownership with a corporate legal structure. Designed for an eligible individual business owner, it provides limited liability, a separate legal identity, and a defined compliance framework so the owner can operate through a company.
Service Overview
