This guide is intended for people based in the UK and running or wishing to set up a Crowdfunding platform (“CFP”) and who want to further their understanding of the legal, fiscal and accountancy issues and to adopt the appropriate legal structure. The dramatic proliferation of CFP’s is largely due to the economic crisis with banks, VCs and other institutions loathed to lend to pre-revenue businesses. This guide sets out some general guidelines, and highlights some of the major pitfalls and issues a CFP needs to consider in order to achieve the best outcome.
