One person company (OPC) is a new concept that gained a big success for sole entrepreneurs and proprietorship firms. It combines the benefits of a private limited company with that of a proprietorship firm and thus, allows an individual to reap the benefits of being a company with limited liability. The individual can take riskier decisions without having to worry about losing personal assets and this has encouraged many startups and young entrepreneurs to register as an OPC.
