About OPC to Private Limited Company

Converting One Person Company to a Private Company can open avenues to pursue additional benefits such as fund raising. An OPC can voluntarily convert itself only after 2 years of its incorporation. The application of conversion is made to Central Government after alternation of MOA and AOA of the OPC. The legal existence of the company continues even after the conversion and so do their rights and liabilities. With its conversion into Private Company, minimum 2 shareholders and directors must be appointed to fulfill the minimum requirement. Conversion helps with the growth opportunities along with additional funding options of private placement funding, ESOP and many more.

Benefits

Easier to Raise Funds

Raising funds as a private limited company is a comparatively easy task as it gives an opportunity for raising shares and has many ways to raise funds in the form of private equity, ESOP, and more.

Limited Liability of Owners

The obligation or debts of the company does not create a charge over the owner’s personal assets. Their liability is limited only to the subscribed capital unpaid by them.

Taxation Benefits

One Person Company is not recognized under the Income Tax Act and hence it has been put in the same category as other companies for taxation purpose. Private companies have been placed under the tax bracket of 30% on total income. Thus, from the perspective of taxation, the concept of One Person Company becomes a less profitable concept as it imposes a heavy financial load.

Separate Legal Existence

A Private Limited Company is registered, a legal entity is born in eyes of law, which is separate from its owners and managers. The company can operate in its own name from opening a bank account to own assets and enter into a contract with parties. This also provides the capacity to sue third parties.
