ACCESS Act of 2025

The ACCESS Act of 2025 raises the crowdfunding offering threshold from $100,000 to $500,000 under the Securities Act of 1933. This directly affects small businesses and startups using crowdfunding to raise capital, as it reduces regulatory requirements for smaller funding rounds. The key provision eliminates the need for public accountant reviews for offerings under the new $500,000 threshold, streamlining the process. The bill aims to lower barriers for small businesses seeking modest capital investments through crowdfunding platforms. Technical corrections in the bill update references to align with the amended threshold.
