Peru’s Crowdfunding Sector Shrinks Amid License Revocation

Peru’s securities regulator revoked Inversiones Neurona SAC’s crowdfunding license at the company’s request, following compliance checks. Previously suspended for failing capital requirements, the firm exits a shrinking market with fewer operators. Authorities note obligations and liabilities remain. Experts say strict regulations may deter entrants, suggesting reforms could revive fintech financing and broaden access beyond traditional banking channels.

The Peruvian Securities Market Superintendency has revoked the operating license of Inversiones Neurona SAC, a company that managed a crowdfunding platform using securities. The decision was formalized through a resolution published in the official gazette, El Peruano.

The measure was adopted after the company itself formally requested the revocation of its authorization to operate in Peru’s local market. This brings to a close the process initiated after the evaluation of the documentation submitted by the company to the regulatory body.

According to the regulator ‘s statement , the authorization was withdrawn in accordance with current regulations, after verifying that the requirements for this type of procedure were met. The resolution formalizing the decision is No. 022-2026-SMV/02.

The company —which previously operated under the name Bloom Crowdfunding SAC— had obtained authorization to manage a crowdfunding platform in September 2023. However, in 2025 its permit was suspended because it did not reach the minimum net worth required to continue its activities.

The document also clarifies that the cancellation does not release directors or managers from obligations incurred before the resolution was issued. Furthermore, it leaves open the possibility that directors or managers may face potential administrative liabilities related to the period during which Inversiones Neurona was operational.

The crowdfunding market in Peru is shrinking

Participatory financial financing, known as crowdfunding, allows the channeling of resources from investors towards business projects through digital platforms that connect promoters and those interested in contributing capital.

However, the presence of these platforms in Peru has decreased in recent months. At the beginning of 2025, there were five operators, but the number has fallen due to license cancellations and companies leaving the market.

Industry experts point out that the current regulatory framework includes requirements such as minimum capital and project financing limits, factors that could discourage new entrants. From this perspective, a potential relaxation of certain conditions would expand financing options for companies that lack access to the traditional banking system and revitalize the local fintech ecosystem in Peru.
