What EU European Crowdfunding Service Providers Regulation (ECSPR) 2020/1503 - EUR 5M Threshold, KIIS, EU Passport requires
Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 (ECSPR) creates a harmonised EU framework for crowdfunding platforms facilitating business financing. Crowdfunding Service Providers (CSPs) must be authorised by their home NCA (Article 12) and benefit from an EU passport (Article 13) to offer services across all Member States. Scope ceiling: EUR 5M per project over 12 months from EEA investors - projects above this threshold require a MiFID prospectus. Non-sophisticated investors benefit from a 4-day pre-contractual reflection period and a EUR 1,000 per project default investment limit (Article 21(7)). Every crowdfunding offering must have a Key Investor Information Sheet (KIIS) (Article 23), a maximum 6-page document replacing the KID in this context. Platforms must conduct a creditworthiness assessment of project owners (Articles 4-5). The Regulation applies from 10 November 2021.
