ASIC releases consultation papers on regulation of equity crowdfunding (edited)
Coming just one week after the making of theĀ Corporations Amendment (Crowd-sourced Funding) Regulations 2017 onĀ 15 June the Australian Securities and Investments Commission released two consultation papers proposing guidance for public companies and intermediaries (i.e. crowd funding platform operators) to assist them in using the new crowd-sourced funding (CSF) regime commencing on 29 September 2017. The core part of the consultationĀ papers are two draft regulatory guides.
The Techboard TeamĀ recently attended an event by the Crowd Funding Institute of Australia (Perth Chapter)Ā Get updated with the new Equity Crowdfunding laws. There was a general consensus amongst the panel that the legislative settings along with new draft Regulatory Guidelines would lead to quite high capital raising costs under the CSF regime and that CSF would not likely be financially viable for capital raises below around $500K.
