A One Person Company (OPC) is a private company under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 with exactly one member and a mandatory nominee, offering limited liability and separate legal entity status to a single entrepreneur.
A One Person Company combines sole ownership with corporate protection. Introduced by the Companies Act, 2013 and effective from April 2014, OPC allows a single Indian citizen to incorporate a company, hold 100% shares, and enjoy limited liability capped at the subscribed share capital. Unlike a sole proprietorship registration where the owner's personal assets are at risk, an OPC member's liability does not extend beyond unpaid share capital.
Under Section 3(1)(c), every OPC must appoint a nominee through Form INC-3; this nominee automatically becomes the member if the original member dies or becomes incapacitated, ensuring perpetual succession. The 2021 Budget amendments expanded eligibility to Non-Resident Indians meeting 120-day residency and removed the earlier mandatory conversion thresholds of ₹50 lakh capital and ₹2 crore turnover. There is no minimum authorised capital, and the government filing fee on SPICe+ is nil for capital up to ₹15 lakh.
OPC registration gives solo founders a corporate framework without the need for a co-founder. Here are 8 specific advantages backed by the Companies Act, 2013.
Limited Liability Protection
Your personal assets (house, savings, car) are protected from business debts. Liability is limited to your unpaid share capital under the Companies Act, 2013.
100% Ownership and Control
OPC has exactly 1 member who is both the sole shareholder and typically the sole director. No partner disagreements or shared decision-making required.
Separate Legal Entity
An OPC is a registered company with its own CIN, PAN, and TAN. It can own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.
Perpetual Succession
If the member dies, the nominee (appointed via Form INC-3) automatically becomes the new member. The company continues operations without disruption.
Easy Bank Loans and Credit
Banks and financial institutions prefer lending to registered companies. OPC can build its own credit history with an independent PAN and financial statements.
Government Tender Eligibility
Many government tenders require a registered company with a CIN. Sole proprietors are often disqualified from PSU procurement. Consider MSME/Udyam registration alongside OPC for added tender benefits.
Lower Tax Rate Than Individuals
OPC pays corporate tax at 22% (Section 115BAA) or 25% base rate, compared to up to 30% individual slab rates. Apply for Startup India DPIIT registration for additional tax holidays.
Exempted from AGM
OPC is exempted from holding Annual General Meetings under Section 96(1) proviso. Resolutions are recorded in the minutes book, reducing compliance overhead.
Who Can Register an OPC in India?
OPC eligibility is governed by Rule 3 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014. Only specific categories of persons qualify as OPC members. The 2021 Budget amendment expanded eligibility by relaxing residency requirements for NRIs.
Requirement
Details
Citizenship
Indian citizen (resident or NRI)
Residency (NRI)
Minimum 120 days in India in the preceding financial year (reduced from 182 days by 2021 amendment)
Age
18 years or above (minors excluded under Rule 3(4))
Several competitor websites incorrectly state that foreigners and all NRIs can freely register OPCs. Under Rule 3(1), only Indian citizens qualify. NRIs became eligible only after the Companies (Incorporation) 2nd Amendment Rules, 2021 (effective 1 April 2021) and must meet the 120-day residency condition in the preceding financial year.
Documents Required for OPC Registration
MCA requires three categories of documents for OPC incorporation via SPICe+. All documents must be self-attested colour scans in PDF format (under 2MB each). Black-and-white scans are rejected by the MCA V3 portal.
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic equivalent of a physical signature, issued by a Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA)-approved agency, used to authenticate the identity of the signatory for all MCA e-filings including SPICe+ and AGILE-PRO-S.
The Memorandum of Association (MoA) is a legal document defining the company's name, registered office, objects, authorised capital, and subscriber details. The Articles of Association (AoA) sets out the rules for internal governance, management structure, and shareholder rights of the company.
For Director/Member:
PAN Card - Self-attested colour scan, must be linked to Aadhaar
Aadhaar Card - Self-attested colour scan with current address
Passport-size Photograph - Recent photo, white background, JPEG under 200KB
Address Proof - Voter ID, passport, or driving licence (not older than 2 months)
Passport - Mandatory if NRI member applying under 120-day residency rule
For Nominee:
PAN Card - Self-attested colour scan
Aadhaar Card - Self-attested colour scan
Signed Form INC-3 - Nominee consent, notarised or self-declared
For Registered Office:
Utility Bill - Electricity, water, or gas bill (not older than 2 months), must show the exact registered office address
NOC from Premises Owner - On letterhead with signature, authorising use as registered office
Rent Agreement or Ownership Proof - Copy of registered lease deed or sale deed
Upload all documents as colour scans in PDF format (under 2MB each). MCA V3 rejects black-and-white scans and images with watermarks. Ensure the utility bill shows the exact address you want as the registered office. IncorpX offers virtual office for OPC registration starting at ₹4,999/year if you need a registered office address.
OPC Registration Cost in 2026
OPC registration costs depend on three components: professional fees, DSC charges, and state stamp duty. Government SPICe+ filing fee is ₹0 for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, and most OPCs fall within this bracket.

Amount (₹)
Notes
Government SPICe+ Filing Fee

Name Reservation (RUN/Part A)
₹1,000
Optional if name filed via SPICe+ directly
DSC (Class 3, 2-year validity)
₹1,500 to ₹2,500
Per person (director + nominee = ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 total)
State-Wise Stamp Duty for ₹1 Lakh Authorised Capital:

Tamil Nadu
₹300
Gujarat
₹3,000
Uttar Pradesh
₹1,000
West Bengal
₹360
₹1,999 is IncorpX professional fee for end-to-end assistance with OPC registration. Government SPICe+ filing fee is ₹0 when authorised capital is ₹15 lakh or below. Stamp duty and DSC costs are government and statutory charges payable separately at actuals. All IncorpX pricing is disclosed upfront before engagement.
Some competitors list ₹1 lakh minimum authorised capital as mandatory. This is incorrect. The Companies Amendment Act, 2015 removed the minimum capital requirement. You can register an OPC with any amount of authorised capital, including ₹10,000 or even ₹1,000.
Step-by-Step OPC Registration Process
OPC registration follows 7 steps on the MCA V3 portal using the SPICe+ (INC-32) form. The complete process takes 7 to 10 working days and costs from ₹4,000 (including DSC, stamp duty, and professional fees). IncorpX assists with every step, including Expert verification.
Step 1: Obtain Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
Apply for Class 3 DSC for the proposed sole director and the nominee from a CCA-approved certifying authority. DSC costs ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 per person and is issued within 1 to 2 working days. Both director and nominee DSCs are mandatory for SPICe+ filing. IncorpX includes Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) procurement in all packages.
Portal: CCA-approved certifying authority | Time: 1 to 2 working days
Step 2: Reserve Company Name via SPICe+ Part A
Log in to MCA V3 portal and file SPICe+ Part A (INC-32) for name reservation. You can propose up to 2 name choices. MCA checks name availability against existing companies and trademarks. Approval takes 2 to 3 working days. Name reservation is valid for 20 days. The company name must end with "(OPC) Private Limited".
Portal: mca.gov.in | Form: SPICe+ Part A (INC-32) | Time: 2 to 3 working days
Step 3: Prepare Incorporation Documents
Draft the e-Memorandum of Association (INC-33) and e-Articles of Association (INC-34). Prepare Form INC-3 (nominee consent), INC-9 (declaration by director), and collect address proof for the registered office including utility bill and owner NOC. IncorpX's Expert Team drafts all documents based on your business objectives.
Forms: INC-33, INC-34, INC-3, INC-9 | Time: 1 to 2 working days
Step 4: File SPICe+ Part B for Incorporation
Complete SPICe+ Part B on MCA V3 with company details, director information, authorised capital, and registered office address. Upload e-MoA, e-AoA, INC-3, INC-9, and office address proofs. Pay applicable stamp duty (varies by state, ₹300 to ₹3,000). DIN is auto-allotted through this form.
Portal: mca.gov.in | Form: SPICe+ Part B | Time: 1 day (filing)
Step 5: File AGILE-PRO-S for Integrated Registrations
AGILE-PRO-S is filed alongside SPICe+ Part B and bundles applications for GSTIN (GST), EPFO (provident fund), ESIC (employee insurance), professional tax registration, and bank account opening. No separate applications needed for these registrations.
Form: AGILE-PRO-S | Time: Filed simultaneously with SPICe+ Part B
Step 6: Expert Verification and Submission
A qualified practising professional verifies all documents, signs the declaration under Rule 12 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014, and submits the application digitally with DSC on MCA V3 portal. IncorpX assigns a dedicated Expert for every filing.
Professional: a qualified professional | Time: 1 working day
Step 7: Receive Certificate of Incorporation
MCA processes the application and issues the Certificate of Incorporation (CoI) with CIN, PAN, and TAN. PAN and TAN are auto-generated with the CoI; no separate Form 49A or Form 49B filing is required. File INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation to declare commencement of business.
Form: CoI auto-issued with CIN, PAN, TAN | Time: 3 to 5 working days after Part B submission
Name rejection is the most common delay. Avoid generic names, names matching existing companies, or names containing restricted words (National, Indian, Republic). Check name availability on the MCA portal before filing SPICe+ Part A. Keep 2 alternative names ready.
Based on our experience assisting with 10,000+ company incorporations since 2019, the three most common OPC registration delays are: (1) name rejection due to similarity with existing companies on the MCA register, (2) incomplete registered office documents (utility bill older than 2 months or missing NOC), and (3) DSC not linked to the director's email ID registered on MCA V3. Preparing all documents per the checklist above eliminates 95% of resubmissions. IncorpX handles all resubmissions at no additional cost if MCA raises queries.
Expert-Assisted OPC registration. Certificate of Incorporation in 7 to 10 working days.
OPC vs Private Limited vs LLP vs Sole Proprietorship
Choosing the right business structure depends on your ownership needs, liability preference, tax planning, and growth plans. This comparison covers 12 parameters across 4 structures most relevant to solo founders.
Once your OPC is incorporated, ongoing compliance with MCA and Income Tax regulations is mandatory. OPC enjoys certain exemptions (no AGM, simplified MGT-7A annual return, only 2 board meetings per year), but statutory audit and annual filings apply regardless of turnover.
File INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation. Missing this deadline results in a ₹50,000 penalty on the company and ₹1,000 per day on officers under Section 248. MCA can also strike off the company for non-commencement of business.
Advantages and Limitations of OPC
Advantages of OPC Registration:
Limited Liability: Personal assets protected; liability capped at unpaid share capital under the Companies Act, 2013.
100% Ownership: Sole member holds all shares and controls all decisions without partner interference.
Corporate Tax Rate: 22% under Section 115BAA (effective ~25.17%) vs up to 30% individual slab rate for sole proprietors.
Separate Legal Entity: Own CIN, PAN, TAN; can own property and enter contracts independently.
Perpetual Succession: Nominee takes over via INC-3; company does not dissolve on member's death.
No AGM Required: Exempted under Section 96(1) proviso, reducing compliance meetings from 4 to 2 per year.
No Minimum Capital: The earlier ₹1 lakh minimum was removed by Companies Amendment Act, 2015. Register with any amount.
Government Tender Eligibility: CIN-based registration qualifies OPC for PSU and government tenders where proprietorships are excluded.
Limitations of OPC (with Workarounds):
Higher Compliance Than Proprietorship: Statutory audit, AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC mandatory every year. Workaround: Use IncorpX compliance calendar for automated deadline tracking.
No Foreign Investment: OPC cannot have a foreign member or accept FDI. Workaround: Convert to Pvt Ltd using Form INC-6 when foreign funding is needed.
No NBFI Activities: Cannot invest in securities of other body corporates under Rule 3(6). Workaround: Register a Pvt Ltd for investment-focused businesses.
Single Member Only: Only 1 shareholder allowed; no equity dilution possible. Workaround: Convert to Pvt Ltd voluntarily via INC-6 when adding a co-founder.
VC Funding Not Possible: Venture capital firms cannot invest directly in OPC. Workaround: Voluntary conversion to Pvt Ltd takes 15 to 30 working days.
OPC Conversion Rules: 2021 Amendment Update
The Companies (Incorporation) 2nd Amendment Rules, 2021 (effective 1 April 2021) made a significant change to OPC conversion rules. The earlier mandatory conversion thresholds of ₹50 lakh authorised capital and ₹2 crore turnover were completely removed. OPCs can now grow to any size without forced conversion to Private Limited.
Voluntary Conversion via Form INC-6:
An OPC can convert to a Private Limited or Public Limited company at any time by filing Form INC-6 with the Registrar of Companies. The process involves passing a special resolution (or written consent of the sole member), altering the MoA and AoA, and adding a second member and second director. Timeline for voluntary conversion is 15 to 30 working days after filing INC-6. IncorpX handles OPC to Private Limited conversion with complete documentation support.
When Should You Convert?
You want to bring in a co-founder or business partner
You plan to raise venture capital or angel investment (OPC cannot accept equity funding)
You need to accept foreign investment (FDI not allowed in OPC)
You want to issue Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) to attract talent
IndiaFilings, LegalRaasta, and other competitors still display the old mandatory conversion thresholds (₹50 lakh capital / ₹2 crore turnover). This rule was removed in 2021 by the Companies (Incorporation) 2nd Amendment Rules. There is NO mandatory conversion requirement for OPCs today. Your OPC can operate indefinitely at any turnover level.
OPC registration involves specific requirements around nominees, eligibility, costs, and compliance. These 40 FAQs cover the most searched questions about One Person Company incorporation, from Section 2(62) definitions to state-wise stamp duty, the 2021 amendment updates, and post-registration compliance obligations.
A One Person Company is defined under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 as a company with exactly one member. It provides limited liability and separate legal entity status to a single entrepreneur. A mandatory nominee must be appointed using Form INC-3 to ensure perpetual succession.
Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen can register an OPC. Post the 2021 Budget amendment, NRIs who have resided in India for at least 120 days in the preceding financial year are also eligible. Minors, foreign nationals, and body corporates cannot be members or nominees.
Yes. After the Companies (Incorporation) 2nd Amendment Rules, 2021 (effective 1 April 2021), NRIs holding Indian citizenship can register an OPC if they have been resident in India for at least 120 days in the preceding financial year. Earlier, the residency requirement was 182 days.
No. Under Rule 3(1) of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, only Indian citizens (residents or NRIs meeting 120-day residency) can be OPC members. Foreign nationals, PIOs, and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are not eligible. They may consider Private Limited Company registration instead.
An OPC nominee becomes the sole member if the original member dies or becomes incapacitated. Nominee consent is filed via Form INC-3 during incorporation. The nominee must be an Indian citizen with a valid PAN and Aadhaar. A person cannot be nominee for more than one OPC simultaneously.
No. Under Rule 3(2) of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, a person cannot be a member of more than one OPC at the same time. Additionally, a person cannot be a nominee in more than one OPC. Violation can attract penalties under Section 450 of the Companies Act.
No. Rule 3(4) of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 explicitly prohibits minors (persons under 18 years) from being either a member or a nominee of a One Person Company. The member must be a natural person with Indian citizenship and a valid PAN and Aadhaar.
No minimum authorised or paid-up capital is required for OPC registration. The Companies Amendment Act, 2015 removed the earlier ₹1 lakh minimum. In practice, most OPCs register with ₹1 lakh authorised capital and ₹10,000 paid-up capital to keep stamp duty low.
Yes. An OPC must have a minimum of 1 director and can appoint up to 15 directors under Section 149(1) of the Companies Act, 2013. However, the company can have only one member (shareholder). Additional directors help with governance but do not hold shares.
An OPC cannot carry out Non-Banking Financial Investment (NBFI) activities, including investment in securities of any body corporate, under Rule 3(6). Also, an OPC cannot be incorporated as or converted to a Section 8 company (non-profit) under Rule 3(5) of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.
If the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated, the nominee appointed via Form INC-3 becomes the new member automatically under Section 3(1)(c). The nominee must intimate the Registrar of Companies within 30 days. This ensures perpetual succession, unlike sole proprietorship.
File Form INC-4 with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of the change. Attach the new nominee's consent in Form INC-3, along with their PAN and Aadhaar. The outgoing nominee's withdrawal letter must also be included. The RoC fee for INC-4 filing is ₹300.
The total cost ranges from ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 depending on your state and service provider. This includes DSC (₹1,500 to ₹2,500), state stamp duty on MoA and AoA (₹300 to ₹3,000), and professional fees (from ₹1,999 at IncorpX). Government SPICe+ filing fee is ₹0 for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh.
The MCA charges ₹0 (nil) government filing fee for SPICe+ when the authorised capital is up to ₹15 lakh, per the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Amendment Rules. Most OPCs fall within this bracket. Name reservation via RUN or SPICe+ Part A costs ₹1,000 separately if filed independently.
Stamp duty varies by state. For ₹1 lakh authorised capital: Delhi ₹510 (MoA ₹360 + AoA ₹150), Maharashtra ₹2,000, Karnataka ₹1,500, Tamil Nadu ₹300, Uttar Pradesh ₹1,000, Gujarat ₹3,000, and West Bengal ₹360. Stamp duty is paid electronically during SPICe+ filing.
A Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate costs ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 per person with 2-year validity. Both the director and nominee need DSCs for SPICe+ filing. Total DSC cost for an OPC is ₹3,000 to ₹5,000. IncorpX includes DSC procurement in the Standard and Premium packages.
No hidden charges at IncorpX. The three cost components are: (1) professional fee (from ₹1,999), (2) DSC cost (₹1,500 to ₹2,500 per person), and (3) state stamp duty (₹300 to ₹3,000). Government SPICe+ fee is ₹0 for capital up to ₹15 lakh. All costs are disclosed before engagement.
IncorpX OPC registration starts at ₹1,999 (professional fee). This covers SPICe+ filing, e-MoA, e-AoA, INC-3 preparation, AGILE-PRO-S filing, and Expert certification. Government stamp duty and DSC costs are additional. Standard and Premium packages include bundled DSC, GST registration, and compliance calendar setup.
An OPC is taxed as a domestic company. Under Section 115BAA, the concessional rate is 22% plus 10% surcharge and 4% cess (effective rate ~25.17%). Without Section 115BAA, OPCs with turnover up to ₹400 crore pay 25% base rate. This is lower than the individual slab rate (up to 30%) applicable to sole proprietors.
Yes. Under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, statutory audit is mandatory for every OPC regardless of turnover or capital. An auditor must be appointed within 30 days of incorporation via Form ADT-1. Tax audit (Section 44AB) is separate and applies only if turnover exceeds ₹1 crore.
Register on the MCA V3 portal (mca.gov.in), obtain DSC, file SPICe+ Part A for name reservation, then SPICe+ Part B with e-MoA (INC-33), e-AoA (INC-34), INC-3, and INC-9. File AGILE-PRO-S alongside for GSTIN and EPFO. MCA issues the Certificate of Incorporation in 3 to 5 working days.
SPICe+ Part A (INC-32) handles name reservation; you propose up to 2 names, and MCA approves within 2 to 3 days. Part B handles actual incorporation: company details, director data, authorised capital, e-MoA, e-AoA, nominee consent (INC-3), and office proofs. Part B triggers CoI, PAN, and TAN issuance.
AGILE-PRO-S is an integrated form filed with SPICe+ Part B. It bundles applications for GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, professional tax registration, and a bank account opening request. Filing is mandatory during incorporation on MCA V3. It eliminates separate visits to GST, PF, and ESI portals.
Director documents: PAN card, Aadhaar card, passport-size photo, address proof (voter ID, passport, or driving licence). Nominee documents: PAN, Aadhaar, and signed Form INC-3. Registered office: utility bill (under 2 months old) and NOC from premises owner. All documents must be self-attested colour scans.
OPC registration takes 7 to 10 working days end to end. DSC procurement: 1 to 2 days. SPICe+ Part A (name approval): 2 to 3 days. SPICe+ Part B (incorporation): 3 to 5 days. Delays occur if MCA raises queries on the name or office address. IncorpX handles resubmissions at no extra cost.
Yes. The RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service on MCA V3 allows advance name reservation at ₹1,000 before filing SPICe+. However, SPICe+ Part A also reserves the name at no extra MCA fee. Using RUN separately is useful only if you want to confirm the name availability before preparing incorporation documents.
Yes. On the MCA V3 portal, PAN and TAN are auto-generated and issued along with the Certificate of Incorporation (CoI). No separate Form 49A (PAN) or Form 49B (TAN) filing is required. The CIN, PAN, and TAN all appear on the CoI itself, enabling immediate bank account opening.
OPC suits solo founders wanting limited liability without a co-founder. Private Limited needs minimum 2 directors and 2 shareholders but allows equity funding and foreign investment. OPC cannot accept VC funding directly. Choose OPC for single-owner businesses; choose Pvt Ltd if you plan to raise capital or add partners.
In a sole proprietorship, the owner has unlimited personal liability and pays tax at individual slab rates (up to 30%). An OPC provides limited liability (capped at share capital) and pays corporate tax at 22% to 25%. OPC requires statutory audit and ROC filings; sole proprietorship has minimal compliance but zero legal protection.
An LLP has lower compliance: statutory audit is mandatory only if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or capital exceeds ₹25 lakh. An OPC requires mandatory statutory audit regardless of turnover under Section 139. However, LLP needs minimum 2 designated partners, while OPC needs only 1 member. LLP is better for professional partnerships.
No. An OPC is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with separate legal entity status, limited liability, and perpetual succession. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal identity, the owner is personally liable for all debts, and the business ceases on the owner's death. OPC requires annual ROC filings; proprietorship does not.
Yes. After the 2021 amendment, conversion is purely voluntary at any time using Form INC-6. The earlier mandatory conversion triggers (₹50 lakh capital or ₹2 crore turnover) were removed by the Companies (Incorporation) 2nd Amendment Rules, 2021. Many competitor websites still show the old mandatory thresholds incorrectly.
OPC registration in Pune follows the same MCA V3 online process. Your OPC is registered under RoC Mumbai (Pune branch). Maharashtra stamp duty on MoA and AoA is ₹2,000 for ₹1 lakh authorised capital. IncorpX handles Pune OPC registrations with local registered office verification and Expert-Assisted filing from ₹1,999.
Karnataka charges ₹1,500 total stamp duty (₹1,000 on MoA + ₹500 on AoA) for ₹1 lakh authorised capital. The OPC is registered under RoC Bangalore. Stamp duty is paid electronically during SPICe+ filing. IncorpX handles Bangalore OPC registrations with complete document preparation and Expert certification.
Yes, provided the virtual office provider gives a valid NOC, rent agreement, and utility bill under 2 months old. MCA accepts virtual office addresses for the registered office. The address must be a physical location (not a PO Box). IncorpX offers virtual office packages starting at ₹4,999/year for OPC registration.
If you do not file INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation, MCA imposes a penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day on officers in default (capped at ₹1 lakh) under Section 248. MCA can also strike off the company name from the register for non-commencement of business.
No. An OPC cannot accept foreign direct investment (FDI) or issue shares to a foreign entity. Venture capital firms cannot invest directly in an OPC structure. If you plan to raise external funding, convert to a Private Limited Company using Form INC-6. Conversion is voluntary and takes 15 to 30 working days.
An OPC must file AOC-4 (financial statements) within 180 days from the financial year end, MGT-7A (simplified annual return) within 60 days from the AGM date, and DIR-3 KYC by 30 September each year. Income tax return ITR-6 is due by 31 October if statutory audit applies.
OPC registration in Gurgaon follows the standard MCA V3 online process. Your OPC is registered under RoC Delhi (NCR jurisdiction).

There is no direct conversion route from sole proprietorship to OPC under the Companies Act, 2013. You must register a fresh OPC via SPICe+ and then transfer the proprietorship's assets, contracts, and licences to the new company. IncorpX assists with the entire transition including asset transfer documentation.
