The OPC Registration has separate legal entity from its owners which safeguard the owner from being sued in case of any legal controversy. Also, the owner's assets will not be utilized to pay off the company's debts. Since in OPC registration, only one person is the sole owner of the company, making the decision is a lot easier and faster. Also, the owner can appoint directors for his help without giving any share to them.
An OPC registration will be required to confirm to the procurements relevant to private limited company registration, but it will also get the benefit of various exclusions, and therefore there is less compliance burden over the OPC. Only a resolution might be conveyed and entered in the minute book (with date and sign), and such a date should be considered the date of the meeting.
Registering a company gives a brand image to business compared to running a business as a sole proprietor. Generally, large business firms prefer to deal with companies instead of sole proprietor firms. There might be a requirement of tender or job work, which can be applied only by the company.

The features of transparency and perpetual succession of the company give it benefits over any other business form. The company registration has better governance, which provides more comfort to all the financial institutions.

The user retains control of the private key. It can only be used with the issued password. The public key is disseminated with the encrypted information.
