One Person Company Registration- An Overview

Are you a solopreneur who wants to give wings to your entrepreneurial dreams? One person company registration is the best option for you. Enjoy the merits such as ease of incorporation, less compliance needs and sole ownership and control with stress-free OPC registration.

This structure allows the person to have full control of the company while enjoying the benefits of limited liability.
