YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
When can a renewal application be made?
The Companies Registry states that a licence is valid for 12 months and renewal should be applied for within the three months before expiry. Prepare documents ahead of that window and check current submission requirements.
Can we reuse previous documents if nothing has changed?
Check current forms, licence conditions and the accuracy of existing information before deciding what can be reused.
Can we continue operating if the licence expires while renewal is pending?
Under section 13(5) of the Money Lenders Ordinance, where a renewal application has been made under section 13 and the licence expires before the application is determined, the existing licence is deemed to continue in force until that determination. This does not apply if the application is withdrawn or the licence is revoked or suspended under section 14. Existing licence conditions and applicable law must still be followed.
