OPC to Private Limited Company Conversion in India

Transform your One Person Company into a scalable Private Limited business entity

Why Convert from OPC to Private Limited?

A One Person Company (OPC) is ideal for solo entrepreneurs, but as the business expands, converting to a Private Limited Company (PLC) becomes beneficial. The conversion is essential when the company exceeds a turnover of ₹2 crore or has a paid-up capital of more than ₹50 lakh. Entrepreneurs can also opt for voluntary conversion for better scalability and investment opportunities.

Growth Potential

Unlimited growth potential with no restrictions on turnover or paid-up capital.

Capital Raising

Enhanced ability to raise capital through additional shareholders and investors.

Enhanced Credibility

Improved business reputation and market standing with the 'Private Limited' status.
