HC International forms JV to provide financing services

News this week: Earlier this week, Beijing-based B2B media company HC International announced the formation of a joint venture (JV) with another Hong Kong-listed company, Digital China, to provide micro-credit internet financing services.

Subject to the approval and the obtaining of necessary permissions from relevant Chinese authorities, the JV will be 60% owned by Digital China and 40% by HC International. The JV will have a total registered capital of 1 billion yuan (US$164 million).


HC’s e-commerce competitor in China, Alibaba Group, obtained its license to provide small business loans to companies on mainland China in April 2010.
