The "China Provident" began business as a loan and mortgage building scheme-thus bearing its current name. Cargo serving as mortgage security was stored in the godowns.

At a later stage in the progress of the company's business, it was decided to accept cargo on a hire system. This subsidiary service grew and eventually necessitated the acquisition of more godowns to accommodate the Inhux of
