OPC Directory

What is OPC Directory?

OPC Directory is a global knowledge graph and directory for one-person companies (OPCs), built by solo founders for solo founders. It organizes scattered knowledge about running a one-person business—incorporation, payment rails, cross-border taxes, tools, and more—into a structured, searchable, bilingual resource. The platform is Chinese-first, with content authored in Chinese and English summaries, serving a global audience while prioritizing the Chinese-speaking solo founder community.

How OPC Directory works

OPC Directory curates resources across six main categories: Base (where to form, live, and operate), Cases (real OPC businesses), Stack (software and services), Learn (structured guides), People (notable solo founders), and Help (human and hybrid providers). Every entry undergoes editorial review before being listed and is periodically re-reviewed to maintain quality. The platform also offers an agent-accessible knowledge graph via APIs, allowing automated research and comparison workflows.

Main features
