Benefits of OPC
Easy Transferability
The ownership of an OPC can be transferred to any other legal entity or person in India or abroad easily - in part or whole. Directors can also be replaced to ensure business continuity.
Separate Legal Entity
One Person Private Limited Company is recognised as a separate entity legally with perpetual existence. It has PAN numbers, bank accounts, licenses, approvals, contracts, assets and liabilities in its unique name.
Limited Liability
One Person Private Limited Company provides limited liability protection to its shareholder. In case of any unforeseen liabilities, it would be limited to the company and not impact the shareholder.
Perpetual Succession

Funding
OPC can raise equity capital from persons or entities interested in becoming shareholders. Entrepreneurs can raise money from angel investors, venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds.
Borrowing Capacity
Due to more debt options, Indian OPCs can borrow more than LLPs. Since debenture issues and convertible debentures are always available, banks help OPCs more than LLPs.
Greater credibility
OPCs must provide the company registrar with a lot of structure, operations, and financial information for the Public domain. Thus, vendors, lenders, and employees can find company information like authorised capital, directors, registered office, etc. Businesses with this information are more credible.
Better governance
OPCs are more organised at creating value because the Companies Act 2013 requires them to follow strict procedures, disclose norms, and comply with legal requirements. To avoid issues, experts should register an OPC.
