Limited Liability | Single Ownership | Legally Structured
Register your One Person Company under the Companies Act, 2013 and operate your business with full control and limited liability protection. PROBAY™ provides end-to-end OPC registration services with complete compliance and structured documentation support.
A One Person Company (OPC) is a type of business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a single entrepreneur to start and operate a company with limited liability and separate legal identity. OPC registration in India enables individuals to run a corporate entity with only one shareholder and one director, making it an ideal choice for solo entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Once incorporated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), a One Person Company becomes a separate legal entity, meaning it can own assets, enter into contracts, open bank accounts, and conduct business operations in its own name
