§ 22106 Finance Lender License Details

Key Takeaways

  • •If you get a license to lend money, it must show your name, business address, and what type of lender you are.
  • •If your business is outside California, you must let California check your records and pay for their travel costs if they visit.
  • •You don’t have to keep separate records for California loans if they can be easily found in your regular records.

Example

A company in New York wants to lend money to people in California.

The company must get a California license with its name and address. If California officials want to check their records, the company has to let them and pay for their trip to New York. But the company doesn’t need a separate folder for California loans if they can quickly show which loans are for California.
