What is Conversion Of Proprietor To One Person Company?

Proprietorship to One Person Company (OPC) conversion allows a sole business owner to transform their business into a separate legal entity with limited liability, higher credibility, and structured compliance — while retaining full ownership.

Major Advantages of OPC Over Proprietorship

Formal Business Structure

OPC follows a corporate framework, making operations more organized and professional.

Separate Legal Identity

OPC can own assets, enter contracts, and operate independently of the owner.

Higher Market Credibility

Clients, vendors, and investors trust OPCs more than proprietorships.

Easy Business Scaling

Structured compliance enables easier expansion and funding opportunities.

Nominee Succession

OPC continues even after the owner’s demise through nominee mechanism.

Lower Compliance Burden

Fewer compliances compared to Private Limited Companies.
