An OPC (One Person Company) is recognized as an independent legal entity distinct from its owner.<br \/>\nSole Proprietorship: A sole proprietorship does not have a separate legal identity. In a sole proprietorship, there is no legal distinction between the business and the owner\u2014they consider as a single entity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ownership\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ownership:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OPC: An OPC owns by a single individual who acts as both the director and shareholder of the company.<br \/>\nSole Proprietorship: In a sole proprietorship, the business owns and manages by a single individual.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liability\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Liability:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OPC: The liability of the owner in an OPC is limited to the extent of the capital invested in the company.

It can transfer to another person as per the provisions of the Companies Act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sole Proprietorship<\/strong>: The continuity of a sole proprietorship is closely tied to the owner.
