Equity Crowdfunding

Equity Crowdfunding: International Regulations and the Law is an authoritative guide to global crowdfunding law and regulation with in-depth analysis of the developed and emerging international regulatory regimes. The European Crowdfunding Service Providers for Business (ECSPR) Regulation 2020/1503 will make it easier for crowdfunding platforms to develop and offer their services across national and international borders under one single regime.

The book looks at the common rules which will come into play, including:
- providing crowdfunding services
- organising, authorising and supervising crowdfunding service providers
- applying transparency and marketing to crowdfunding services
