In 2014 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) enacted new rules for the regulation of crowdfunding platforms operated by firms authorized by the FCA. At that time, the agency committed to carrying out a full post-implementation review of the crowdfunding market and regulatory framework in 2016. That process has commenced and will soon identify whether further changes are required for UK crowdfunding industry. As part of the review process, the FCA has published a research document as a point of discussion with industry leaders and other interested parties. Crowdfunding references debt, equity and other securities including peer to peer lending.
