OPC to Private Limited
OPC to Private Limited Company
When an OPC starts scaling, bringing in new shareholders or expanding operations becomes difficult under its single-owner structure. Converting it into a Private Limited Company opens up opportunities—multiple directors, equity investment, better banking relationships and a more credible corporate identity. The process involves approvals, filings and careful transition of assets, contracts and registrations to ensure the business continues without disruption.
