you need to send him legal notice within 30 days of bouncing informing dishonor of cheque and requesting to pay within 15 days of receipt of notice. If within 15 days of notice party fails to give you the cheque amount, you may file complaint within 15 days and get him arrested as the matter is considered as non-bailable.

it is correct that you may not finance unless you have a valid licence for doing finance business.Now you can show this transaction as friendly loan not as as a commercial lending if you have not executed any agreement.
