香港放贷业务的牌照合规要求
按照香港《放债人条例》,凡在香港从事放贷业务的个人或单位,All are required to apply for and hold a money lender’s license。该牌照通常需要经过Companies Registry、警务处及牌照法庭等部门审核,不同部门分别承担资料审查、背景核查及牌照审批等职责。
由于申请人的资质条件、Personnel arrangement、business premises、业务模式及过往记录均可能影响审批进度,Money Lender License Application存在一定不确定性。为保障业务能够按计划启动,许多投资者更倾向于通过收购或承接已持牌的香港财务公司,以缩短进入市场的周期。
香港财务公司转让的实质与变更重点
