Frequently asked questions

Can an OPC raise venture funding?

Investors typically prefer a private limited company, so OPCs planning to raise equity usually convert first.

Who is the nominee?

The nominee steps in if the sole member dies or is unable to act. The nominee's consent is filed at incorporation.
