Abstract
The whole world enters into the financial revolution called crowdfunding. The United States, Italy, the United Kingdom and Japan have already legally allowed equity crowdfunding. South Korea also enacted equity crowdfunding in July 2015 for the purpose of efficient financing for startups and SMEs. This study reviews their crowdfunding regulations in terms of offering and investment limitations, requirements for intermediaries and requirements for issuers. And then, we raise several points about Korean crowdfunding and suggest amendment of regulations to promote fund raining through crowdfunding.
