Application for Money Lender’s Licence

Application for Money Lender’s Licence

A person carrying on business as a money lender in Hong Kong must obtain a money lender's licence. We assist our clients on application for money lender’s licence, renewal of licence and endorsement on licence.

Our team help client to prepare the application and statement forms, arrange for signatures and then submit the forms together with the application fees to the Money Lenders Unit of the Companies Registry and also the Money lenders licensing Section, Licensing Office of the Hong Kong Police Force. A money lender’s licence valid for 12 months will be granted by the licensing court, if it thinks fit.

We also help the licensed money lender to notify the Registrar of Money Lenders or apply for endorsement on the licence, where appropriate, under the following circumstances: 

• If there is any change in the registered particulars of the licensee
• If the licensee intends to carry on business of a money lender at any additional or different premises
• If the licensee dies, the widow or widower or any member of the family of the age of 21 years or above, or any person on behalf of the family, intends to submit an application for endorsement of his or her name on the licence
