Walliance is a digital platform that combines investment and financing opportunities in the real estate and renewable energy sectors, accessible through various financial instruments, including Equity, Lending and Debt crowdfunding.
Aiming at providing solutions to the complexities encountered in such sectors, Walliance was founded in Trentino (Italy) in 2016 and became operational with its first project in September 2017. Walliance was the first equity crowdfunding platform to receive authorization from CONSOB to raise venture capital for real estate projects in Italy. In November 2023, Walliance got the authorization to operate as an Investment Company ("Società di Intermediazione Mobiliare" - SIM) in Italy, free to provide services in France and Spain as well. In the same month, Walliance announced the acquisition of Lymo Finance, the first real estate crowdfunding portal launched in France.
The company also received a specific license to operate as a European crowdfunding portal.
Walliance SIM SpA is the operator of the eponym crowdfunding portal, according to Regulation (EU) 2020/1503. It is also authorized to provide investment services and activities defined by Article 1, paragraph 5, of the Italian TUF, without holding, even temporarily, clients' cash and financial instruments and without assuming any risk on the part of the company itself. It may carry out placement without irrevocable commitment to the issuer (lett. c-bis), as well as the reception and transmission of orders (lett. e).
According to Article 59, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (TUF), and regarding the investment services, Walliance SIM adheres to the National Guarantee Fund (“Fondo Nazionale di Garanzia”). Under Article 16, paragraph 3 of the Fund's bylaws, membership is effective from the date of the authorization order issued by the Authority.
Walliance's characteristics also include a strong focus on Corporate Social Responsibility aspects, which are reflected in multiple areas: a selection of real estate and renewable energy sector projects also evaluated according to criteria of sustainability and respect for the environment; a direct commitment to the social sphere through support agreements with associations active in the third sector; and a young and dynamic work team marked by diversity and inclusiveness.
