Money Lending · On Lok Tsuen, Fanling

Ask a lender how
they behave when you
can't pay.

BODA FINANCE LIMITED lends to people and small businesses in the North District, from an office in On Lok Tsuen. Anyone will describe their approval process. Far fewer will tell you, in writing and in advance, what happens if a payment is missed. Ours is on this page.

How we collect — and what we never do

A published standard, not a private policy

No calls to your employer or colleagues
Your debt is not your workplace's business
No approaches to relatives or neighbours
Except a guarantor, who has signed and knows why
Nothing posted at your door or building
No notices, no markings, no visits designed to be seen
No threats, and no calls at night
Contact during reasonable hours, in a civil tone
Harassment of a borrower is a matter for the police, not a negotiating tactic. If anyone collecting a debt behaves this way toward you, report it.

Who we are

A small lender
in the North District

BODA FINANCE LIMITED is a money lending company at On Hing Industrial Centre in On Lok Tsuen, Fanling. We are not a bank — we take no deposits and hold no accounts. We lend modest sums to individuals and small businesses across Fanling, Sheung Shui and the surrounding North District.

Hong Kong had over two thousand licensed money lenders as of mid-2025. The quality of them varies enormously, and the difference rarely shows up in the advertised rate. It shows up months later, in how a company behaves toward someone who has fallen behind.

That is why this site leads with collection conduct rather than with approval speed. A borrower's real exposure is not the interest — it is what a lender is prepared to do to their reputation and their family's peace if things go wrong. That should be settled before the money changes hands, not discovered afterwards.

Anybody can be pleasant while lending. The question worth asking is how they behave while collecting.

Terms in Writing

Effective rate and total repayable before signing

On Lok Tsuen

Serving Fanling, Sheung Shui and the North District

Our lending

Modest sums, defined terms

Short, specific borrowing with an end date. We do not offer open credit lines, and we think that is a feature.

Personal Loans

Instalment borrowing for a defined purpose over a defined term, assessed on your circumstances rather than on a single number.

Small Business Loans

Working capital for the workshops, shops and trades of the North District — where a bank's minimum ticket is larger than the whole requirement.

Property-Secured Loans

Borrowing secured by a charge over property, including second charges. The property is at risk if the loan is not repaid — that is the trade.

Debt Consolidation

Combining several obligations into one — but only where the total cost genuinely falls, which we will work out with you before proposing it.

Bridging

Short-term funding pending a sale, a settlement or an expected receipt, with the exit agreed at the start rather than hoped for.

Restructuring an Existing Loan

If you are already behind with us, come in and talk. A rescheduled payment costs everyone less than an enforcement does.

If you're a guarantor

You are not
a character reference

Somebody you care about has asked you to sign as guarantor, and it feels like a gesture of confidence in them. Legally it is nothing of the sort. It is you agreeing to pay their debt, and the misunderstanding is so common that we would rather set it out plainly than have you learn it later.

None of this means you should refuse. It means you should sign knowing exactly what you have taken on — and, ideally, after a conversation with your own household about it.

  • 01

    You owe the whole amount, not a share

    Guaranteeing is not splitting. The full balance can be claimed from you

  • 02

    The claim can come to you directly

    Depending on the terms, without the borrower being pursued to exhaustion first

  • 03

    It can affect your own borrowing

    A guarantee is a commitment, and other lenders may treat it as one

  • 04

    Read it, and take your own advice

    Ask what releases you, and what happens if the borrower and you fall out

Said plainly
A money lender costs more than a bank
Substantially. If a bank or credit union will lend to you on a workable timetable, take that instead. We say so knowing what it costs us.
Compare the effective annual rate
Not the monthly instalment and not a flat percentage. Hong Kong caps the effective rate at 60% per annum; above 48% is presumed extortionate.
Never pay an intermediary
Approach a licensed lender directly. A fee to "arrange" or "guarantee" approval is not a legitimate cost anywhere in this market.
Struggling already? Get advice first
If income does not cover outgoings, another loan deepens it. Free debt counselling exists in Hong Kong and should come before any lender.

I missed a payment after a bad month and spent a week dreading the phone. What actually happened was one call, in normal working hours, asking what had gone on and whether a revised schedule would help. Nobody rang my employer.

My nephew asked me to guarantee his loan. Here it was explained to me that I would owe the whole sum, not a share, and I was told to go home and think about it. I did sign in the end, but with my eyes open.

Our workshop needed a small amount for materials and the banks were not interested at that size. The paperwork here was a fraction of the effort and the total repayable was on the table at the first meeting.
