ACCESS Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Meuser, Daniel [R-PA-9]
In Committee
Summary
Expands access to crowdfunding capital. The ACCESS Act would raise the point at which a crowdfunded offering must include financial statements reviewed by a public accountant independent of the issuer from $100k to $250k. It would also let the SEC increase that cap to up to $400k after recommendations from the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Office of the Investor Advocate.
Show full summary
- Small businesses and startups: Could offer up to $250k under the crowdfunding exemption without triggering the independent-accountant review that applied at $100k, reducing upfront accounting burden.
- Investors: Would see fewer offerings with independent-accountant reviewed financial statements in the $100k to $250k range.
- Accountants and auditors: Fewer small offerings would require independent-accountant reviews, likely lowering demand for that specific review work.
- Regulators: Gives the SEC discretionary authority to raise the threshold to as much as $400k, contingent on recommendations from the two advocate offices.

Higher review threshold for crowdfunding
If enacted, this bill would raise the dollar level that triggers a reviewed financial statement in SEC crowdfunding. The trigger would move from $100,000 to $250,000 per offering. The SEC could later raise it to as much as $400,000, but only with recommendations from the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Office of the Investor Advocate, and a Commission vote. Small businesses would face fewer review costs on smaller offerings. Investors could see less required financial disclosure for those offerings, and the change would take effect upon enactment.
