Overview
What is OPC to Private Limited Conversion?
A One Person Company suits solo founders, but growth often means adding co-founders, investors or employees with equity. Converting to a Private Limited Company lets you have more shareholders and raise funds more easily.
Since 2021, an OPC can convert voluntarily at any time. The company must have at least two members and two directors, alter its MOA and AOA, and file Forms MGT-14 and INC-6. We handle every step through to the new certificate.
