What Is a One Person Company (OPC)?

It’s ideal for solo founders who want full control with legal protection — bridging the gap between a sole proprietorship and a private limited company.
Prospect Legal helps you complete your One Person Company registration in India within just a few working days.

Common Delays & How to Avoid Them
Things That Delay a Company Registration (and How to Avoid Them)
- Incomplete or Mismatched Documents: Ensure PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof exactly match MCA records.
- Name Approval Rejections: Use unique, non-trademarked names; verify via MCA Name Check.
- Technical Errors on MCA Portal: Avoid peak hours for filing; ensure DSC is valid.
- Delayed Responses: Timely sign and upload all e-forms when prompted by MCA.
- Jurisdiction Variability: Each ROC has slight procedural differences — Prospect Legal handles these on your behalf.
💡 Pro Tip: Our automated verification system minimizes rejections and delays by pre-checking every document.
How to Decide a Company Name?
How to Choose and Secure a Company Name?
- The name must be unique and not identical to any existing company or trademark.
- Use MCA Name Availability Check and Trademark Search before applying.
- Include a meaningful keyword relevant to your business (e.g., “Tech,” “Consulting,” “Foods”).
- Avoid restricted words like Government, National, Bank, unless approved.
💡 Pro Tip: Prospect Legal runs a dual check (MCA + Trademark Registry) to maximize approval success.
