What If You Don’t File AOC-4? Here’s What Usually Goes Wrong

Proprietorship vs One Person Company (OPC)-Which One is Right for you

A business structure tells us how a business is owned and managed. In India, when only one person wants to start a business, two common options are Sole Proprietorship and One Person Company (OPC). Both are meant for single owners, but they are different in many ways. 1. Meaning A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by one person. There is no difference between the owner and the business. They are treated as the same. A One Person Company (OPC) is a company started by one person under the Companies Act. Even though there is only one owner, the business is treated as a separate legal entity. 2. Legal Status In a proprietorship, the business does not have a separate legal identity.
