Scrooge (and Marley, when alive) was a money-lender, charging high rates of interest.

He started with very little. From a sign on his building it said Importer of fine goods and china. So he was an importer and then got into money loaning. He probably partnered with Marley as an importer loaning money was less risky and with higher returns.
