Why Buy an SFC Type 4 + 9 Licensed Corporation?
Applying for SFC licenses from scratch takes 6-18 months and requires significant capital, experienced Responsible Officers (ROs), and a full compliance framework. Buying an existing licensed corporation lets you:
- Skip the application wait — acquire a ready-made licensed entity in weeks, not months
- Two licenses, one entity — advise on securities and manage assets without maintaining separate companies
- Immediate market entry — start serving professional investors and fund clients right after transfer
- Lower barrier — the compliance framework is already in place; you inherit the existing structure
How the Transfer Works
- Initial enquiry — WhatsApp us to request the information pack (NDA may be required)
- Due diligence — review company records, compliance history, license validity
- Share Purchase Agreement — negotiate terms and sign SPA
- SFC approval — submit change-of-control notification; SFC reviews new shareholders/directors (8-12 weeks)
- Completion — share transfer registered, you take control of the licensed corporation
Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an SFC Type 4 + 9 licensed company cost?
An existing SFC Type 4 + 9 licensed corporation typically costs HKD 1.8M-2.5M depending on compliance history, ROs, and whether the company has a clean record. This listing is priced at HK$2,000,000.
How long does the SFC license transfer take?
SFC license transfers via share acquisition typically take 8-12 weeks, pending SFC approval of the new controlling shareholders and directors.
Can I buy just the license without the company?
No. SFC licenses are attached to the licensed corporation. The standard approach is to acquire the company itself via share transfer. The license transfers with the entity.
