The Central Bank has implemented EU regulations to provide “at risk” warnings to investors injecting funds into small businesses or startups through crowdfunding platforms.

It means the code will apply to firms operating crowdfunding services to ensure “any advertisement must be fair and clear and must not mislead or seek to influence consumers unduly in their investment decisions”.
