One Person Company (OPC) Registration

Sahayak Seva registers One Person Companies for solo founders who want a company identity — a certificate of incorporation, a separate legal entity and limited liability — without having to find a co-founder. The one thing an OPC demands that other structures don't: a nominee, a person who consents in Form INC-3 to take over if the sole member dies or is incapacitated. We handle the nominee paperwork, the SPICe+ filing on mca.gov.in and the honest compliance briefing before you commit.

What we handle

Straight talk first — an OPC has annual filing costs like any company; if you only need a bank account and GST, a proprietorship is far cheaper
Nominee requirement handled properly — consent in Form INC-3, and how to change the nominee later
DSC, name reservation (SPICe+ Part A) and incorporation (Part B) on mca.gov.in
PAN and TAN allotted with the certificate; bank account support after
Compliance is lighter than a normal private limited (no AGM), but AOC-4, MGT-7A and audit still apply every year

How it works

WhatsApp consult

OPC vs proprietorship vs private limited for a one-person business — we compare costs honestly on 91155 52911 before anything is filed.

DSC for the owner

Video-KYC based digital signature, usually ready in a day or two.

Nominee consent prepared

Form INC-3 signed by your nominee — the OPC-specific step that DIY filings most often bungle.

Name + incorporation via SPICe+

Part A reserves the name, Part B incorporates with eMoA/eAoA on mca.gov.in; resubmission remarks, if any, handled by us.

Certificate + PAN + TAN

Handed over with a compliance calendar and bank-account support, so year one starts clean.

Fees & time

Upfront

Government fees plus stamp duty (state-dependent), DSC and our professional fee — the full break-up is shared on WhatsApp before you commit. Like any company, an OPC has yearly filing costs even at zero revenue, and we put that number in front of you honestly before you incorporate.

⏱

Typically 10–15 working days — the same SPICe+ pipeline as a private limited, with the nominee consent added.

FAQs

One Person Company (OPC) Registration — quick answers

Any Indian citizen resident in India — commonly a spouse, parent or sibling — who signs consent in Form INC-3. Yes, you can change the nominee later by filing with MCA. Note that one person can be the nominee of only one OPC at a time.

It depends on what you're protecting. An OPC gives limited liability and a company name that looks stronger to clients and lenders, but costs money to maintain every year. A proprietorship costs almost nothing but offers no liability shield. For many small traders the honest answer is: start as a proprietorship, convert when contracts or risk justify it — and we'll tell you if that's your case.

Yes — conversion to a private limited is allowed, and under current rules voluntary conversion is much more flexible than it used to be. Typical trigger: bringing in a co-founder or investor. We handle the conversion filings when you get there.

No — a person can incorporate only one OPC, and can be the nominee of only one OPC at a time. If you have multiple business lines, they usually live inside the same OPC or one becomes a proprietorship.
