overview

What is One Person Company?

Want the benefits of a company structure but prefer to run everything yourself? A One Person Company (OPC) is built exactly for you. As a solo entrepreneur, you get limited liability protection, a distinct legal identity, and the credibility of a registered company — without needing a co-founder or partner.

OPCs are ideal for freelancers transitioning to a structured business, solo consultants building a brand, and first-time entrepreneurs testing a new idea. Laams handles your complete OPC registration online, delivering your Certificate of Incorporation within 7 working days.
