Questions
What counts as a one-person company?
A business that one person runs, with no employees, either as a sole trader, a one-owner company or an informal online business. Every entry shows how we know it is run by one person.
How do you know what these businesses earn?
We only write an income figure when the founder said it or a payment platform verified it. Each figure carries its basis, the date, and a link to the source. If nobody has published a number, the entry says so.
Can I add my own one-person company?
Yes. Use the Submit page: tell us what you sell and how you work, with one way to reach you. Your contact is never published. Entries are checked by a person before they go live, and personal details are removed.
Does OPC Zoo promise anything to the people it lists or to readers?
No. We do not promise follow-up, introductions or income. If a suitable opportunity comes up we may introduce you; we do not raise funds, handle money or promise returns.
