What is an EU Crowdfunding Licence?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\"EUAn EU crowdfunding service provider (CSP) licence under Regulation 2020\/1503 (ECSPR) authorizes your platform to facilitate loan-based and equity-based crowdfunding for business projects, with a single authorisation passporting across all 27 EU member states.<\/strong> The ECSPR licence replaced all prior national crowdfunding regimes and created a unified EU-wide framework supervised by ESMA, covering platforms incorporated in any EU member state. Once authorised, your platform can onboard investors and project owners from any EU member state without obtaining separate national licences.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/i>One authorization, 27 markets: serve clients across the entire EU from a single licensing jurisdiction of your choice<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i>10 regulated service categories covering exchange, custody, trading platforms, advisory, portfolio management and transfers<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i>DORA-aligned ICT security and operational resilience framework built into the licensing requirements from day one<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i>Clear capital thresholds from EUR 50,000 to EUR 150,000 based on your CSP class, providing regulatory certainty upfront<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i>Regulatory credibility that unlocks EU banking access, institutional partnerships and long-term investor confidence<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i>Competitive authorization timelines from 6 months with full project management and NCA liaison<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Choosing the right EU jurisdiction for your Crowdfunding Licence involves several factors beyond the regulation itself: corporate tax rates, employment costs, NCA processing times, supervisory fees and substance expectations.<\/strong> We cover all three jurisdictions through local legal teams and regulatory partners, and we recommend the best-fit country based on your service scope and tax position rather than defaulting to a single market.<\/p>\n
