Inflation provides big boost to crowdfunding limits
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently published statutorily-required five-year inflation adjustments for various limits placed on crowdfunding, and the increases are substantial.
The new revenue ceiling for an eligible company is increasing from $1.070 billion to nearly $1.235 billion. The total cap on the amount that can be raised via crowdfunding remains at the $5 million level added just last year, but the thresholds for new offering that require independent financials or a full audit have been increased to $618,000 and $1.235 million, respectively. For individuals, the changes mean that individuals with annual income or net worth under $124,000 can invest up to the greater of $2,500 or 5%.
