What kind of business did Ebeneezer Scrooge own? What was his occupation?

Answer 1

The book, Christmas Carol, does not state his occupation but some interpret his work as businessman/banker/moneylender. His partner Marley appears as a ghost in damnation for his exploitation of the poor. It is probably safe to assume his line was usury.

Answer 2

Ebeneezer Scrooge was a moneylender. His partner was Jacob Marley who visits Scrooge on Christmas Eve. Dickens was confirming the biblical text that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Answer 3

Dickens describes Scrooge as a "man of business", a man whose word was "good upon 'Change" (a term meaning that he was a member of the London Stock Exchange); his office was attached to a warehouse (the name "Scrooge and Marley" was still above its door); Marley's chain was ornamented with cash-boxes, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses; Scrooge's office was called a counting-house. Scrooge posessed and used a banker's book.
From these clues we can likely say that Scrooge dealt in real commodities, real estate (including rentals and mortgages), loaned money at interest, invested in financial and business transactions in the Stock Exchange, and was probably linstrumental in foreclosure proceedings.
