Crowdster obtains European Crowdfunding License and takes the next step towards international expansion

The approval is the result of dedicated work by Crowdster’s management and Board of Directors, supported by the company’s advisors at CMS Wistrand Lawyers & Legal Consultants in Stockholm and PwC.

To strengthen the organization during the application process and support future growth, Gorm Ejmefors-Bjørkmann was appointed CEO. He brings more than 25 years of experience from the financial sector and has held several leadership positions, with extensive expertise in relationship management, corporate banking, risk management, credit analysis, and property finance.

“The licensing process with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has been demanding, while at the same time we have built Crowdster from the ground up. I am proud of both our management team and Board of Directors, who have worked professionally to create a company that meets the very high regulatory standards required of crowdfunding and crowdlending platforms in Europe. This license marks an important milestone in our ambition to establish Crowdster as a European franchise concept,” says CEO Gorm Ejmefors-Bjørkmann.

Crowdster is headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, and has already launched its first projects on the platform. One of the key strengths of the concept is that investors can participate without any fees and invest from as little as €1,500.

The company’s vision is to offer real estate projects from across Europe through a network of local partners and agents. This allows investors to diversify their portfolios across different countries, cities, and project types.

Expected returns will vary depending on the geographical location and risk profile of each project. In Denmark and Sweden, annual returns are typically expected to range between 8% and 10% per annum, while projects in countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Italy may potentially offer returns in the range of 10% to 15% per annum.

The CEO continues:

“It is important to emphasize that all projects listed on the platform undergo the same comprehensive and rigorous due diligence process. Furthermore, the capital raised is never paid directly to our local agents. Funds are managed centrally from our headquarters and released in tranches as project milestones are achieved and documented. This structure gives us full control over investor capital and ensures a high level of transparency and project oversight across Europe.”

On the project side, Crowdster is currently active in Sweden and Denmark and is preparing the next phase of its growth strategy. The company aims to open its first agent offices in countries including Spain and Portugal during the first quarter of 2027.
