Regulation (EU) 2020/1503 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 October 2020 on European crowdfunding service providers for business, and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and Directive (EU) 2019/1937 (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(43) Financial products marketed on crowdfunding platforms are not the same as traditional investment products or savings products, and should not be marketed as such. However, to ensure that prospective non-sophisticated investors understand the level of risk associated with crowdfunding investments, crowdfunding service providers should be required to run an entry knowledge test of prospective non-sophisticated investors in order to ascertain their understanding of such investments. Crowdfunding service providers should explicitly warn prospective non-sophisticated investors that have insufficient knowledge, skills and experience that the crowdfunding services provided might be inappropriate for them.
