Abstract

Crowdfunding for SMEs: a European perspective gives a valuable insight into this new source of capital. In particular, the focus is on financial return crowdfunding, since its role in the future as an alternative or a complement to traditional funding sources is likely to become even stronger. It is important to understand what led to this exponential growth in recent years and identify the driving forces of success of peer-to-peer lending and equity crowdfunding campaigns on both the funders’ and the fundraisers’ sides. Because of the financial nature of the return provided to the crowd, financial return crowdfunding has become a focus for regulators, although the European Union still lacks a set of common rules.
