One Person Company - An Overview

One Person Company is the simplest business form which requires only one person as a member. One-person company is governed by Companies Act 2013 and must be incorporated as a private limited company. It should have a minimum of one director and a maximum of 15. Also, we can say that One Person Company is a hybrid of Sole Proprietor and Company form of business and has been provided with concessional/relaxed requirements under the Act. In case the Article of Association doesn’t have the name of a Director, then the member of one-person company shall be deemed as a director too.
