Private Limited vs LLP vs OPC: Which Structure to Choose
The right structure depends on how many people are involved, whether you plan to raise funding, and how you want to be taxed. All three can use a virtual office as their registered address.
Quick comparison
- Private Limited: best for startups planning to raise funds; two or more members
- LLP: lighter compliance, good for professional firms and partners
- OPC: for a single founder who wants a corporate structure
Compliance and cost
A Private Limited company has the most compliance, an LLP less, and an OPC sits in between. Choose the lightest structure that fits your plans.
The address question
Every one of these needs a registered office. A virtual office provides it without renting premises.
