Abstract:
|
[eng] Crowdfunding is an alternative source of financing that allows entrepreneurs
to raise funds from a multitude of potential investors through the use of Internetbased
electronic platforms. Amongst the different models of crowdfunding, equity
crowdfunding in particular has been growing in popularity with smaller European
firms. Several European Union Member States have begun to enact sets of rules
specifically aimed at encouraging its development as a financing model that is both
attractive for small companies and safe for investors – with Portugal recently joining
their ranks. This article discusses whether Portugal has been able to design an equity
crowdfunding regime capable of ensuring its sustainable growth as a viable funding
alternative for its growing market of small and medium-sized enterprises, without
compromising the safety of Portuguese investors. |

[spa] El crowdfunding es una fuente de financiación alternativa que permite a los
empresarios recaudar fondos de una multitud de potenciales inversores mediante el
uso de plataformas digitales. Entre los diferentes modelos de crowdfunding el equity
crowdfunding es el que, en particular, se ha popularizado entre las empresas europeas
más pequeñas. Varios Estados Miembros de la Unión Europea –entre los que se
encuentra Portugal– han comenzado a promulgar un conjunto de normas destinadas
específicamente a fomentarlo. En este artículo se analiza si Portugal ha sido capaz de
diseñar un régimen capaz de garantizar su crecimiento sostenible como alternativa de
financiación viable para su creciente mercado de pequeñas y medianas empresas, sin
comprometer la seguridad de los inversores portugueses. |
