Set a trigger to reconsider the OPC when you plan outside equity, bring in a co-founder, issue employee options or sell part of the business. Structural changes are easier before a transaction is urgent.
Keep nominee information current and make sure key company records are accessible if the sole member becomes unavailable. Continuity is one reason the OPC exists; it fails if all passwords, contracts and financial information remain only in the founder’s personal possession.
Use professional advice for conversion and tax consequences rather than assuming the cheapest online filing route is sufficient. The right structure should support the company’s next stage, not trap it in day-one assumptions.
