OPC vs Pvt Ltd for Solo Founders

OPC (One Person Company) is a private limited with a single shareholder and one nominee. It gives solo founders limited liability and a separate legal entity at lower compliance cost. Restrictions: cannot carry out non-banking financial investment activities, must convert to multi-member private limited when turnover exceeds Rs 2 crore or paid-up capital exceeds Rs 50 lakh. OPC is ideal for solo founders who want limited liability but plan to grow organically. If you intend to raise venture capital or bring in co-founders quickly, register a private limited instead.
