Separate legal identity
Part of the structure
Eligible solo founder
Liability framework
More than a proprietorship
The OPC is aimed at eligible solo founders who want to run a business through a formal company while remaining its only member.
It offers a separate legal identity and a limited liability framework without needing multiple shareholders at the outset. It may suit individual entrepreneurs, consultants, small business owners, and solo founders who want more formality than a sole proprietorship but are not ready for a multi-shareholder company.
Eligible solo founders and individual entrepreneurs.
Consultants and small business owners who want limited liability.
Sole proprietors seeking a formal corporate identity.
An OPC can add credibility, legal identity, and limited liability, but it comes with eligibility conditions, nominee requirements, compliance obligations, and future conversion considerations. It should not be chosen just because it looks simple; the business’s future plans should be weighed.
Eraqus helps assess whether an OPC fits, discuss eligibility, prepare nominee documentation, coordinate incorporation, and understand ongoing compliance.
