individual.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was introduced under the Indian Companies Act, 2013 to encourage solo entrepreneurs and small business owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

company becomes a separate legal entity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The business gets better credibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a sole proprietorship, an OPC protects the
