Capital Requirements

As provided for by Article 7-bis of the Consob Regulation, the Manager shall take out an insurance policy to cover liability for damages arising to the client from the exercise of the professional activity.

What we do and how we select offers

Migliora S.r.l. enters in the Portal the companies that intend to place financial instruments representing their share capital through the internet channel represented by the Crowdfunding Portal.

The selection of companies to be included in the 'showcase' represented by the Portal is made by the team and the Team Specialist of Migliora S.r.l., after verifying the legality of the project and its non-infringement to the law, public order or morality.

Before being able to publish an Offer on the Portal it is necessary that the promoter of the initiative performs the registration procedure on the Portal, completing all the required fields relating to the promoter and the project.

Once completed the creation of the profile on the Portal by the promoter of the initiative, the Migliora S.r.l. team (contacted at ) will take care of the registration. (which can be contacted at support@2meet2biz.com) will verify, in discussion with the promoter, the possession of the requirements of current legislation on the issue of raising venture capital from innovative startups through online portals.

Verified the existence of the pre-requirements of law, Migliora S.r.l. reserves, however, the right to decide whether to proceed with the publication of a project on its Portal.

The non-publication of an Offer on the Portal, is not, however, to be understood as a negative assessment of the potential of the initiative and does not preclude possible future publications, when the project will fully meet the requirements for its dissemination.
