AFM license

On November 10, 2021, the European regulation for Crowdfunding service providers came into force. As a result, crowdfunding platforms must obtain a license from the AFM before 10 November 2022. The licensing will be subject to requirements relating to the following subjects, among others:

expertise and reliability of policymakers;
prudential requirements;
policy on outsourcing;
policy on customer complaints.

The application for such a license is quite complex and requires thorough preparation. Licence applications that are complete and of good quality have the best chance of succeeding. Our specialists can help you with the application or extension of a license.
