BRAND DEVELOPMENT

Brand development and marketing must be compliant with the cannabis-specific regulations in your area.

The complex and strictly regulated environment demands an additional layer of planning, budgeting and execution to ensure you remain compliant and avoid serious risk to your enterprise.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

We create a comprehensive personalized plan with financial models that can be used to secure needed capital, recruit key executives and provide a foundation for future licensing or expansion.

Even the savviest entrepreneurs or executives need a crash course as they enter a cannabis industry that is rapidly expanding in most countries, consolidating in others but always evolving. We don’t just claim to have experience. We prove it.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Regulatory compliance is one of the areas operators find least interesting and often overlook many details. Submitting a weak application may result in many months of approval delay or even rejection. Once approved, it is imperative that one stay compliant and current with Standard Operating Procedures and changes in Government policies.

Regulations are constantly changing and local, regional and federal-level laws can conflict with one another. In the cannabis industry flawless compliance is of the utmost importance. Government scrutiny is intense and for good reason; it is to build public safety and confidence with is critical to the industry and your success.

Our team can help you uphold high standards and build positive impressions for your company within the cannabis trade.

With such high stakes and complexity, you can ill afford to take short cuts and make errors. Unless you have the experience and confidence to take this on yourself, the safest route is to engage the experts.

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY

Your growth plans may have you looking to new markets and new audiences. As Europe opens up to CBD products and Medical Cannabis, the THC recreational market will soon follow much like we witnessed in the Canadian marketplace. Can you be ready?

As these new opportunities present themselves in the U.K. and across Europe, no two markets are approaching the process the same way. Every legislature and regulatory body develops its own set of priorities, rules and requirements.

Successfully building a multi-region or country cannabis operation requires a careful balance of repeatability and specialization.

Repeatability maintains the benefits of efficiencies and economies of scale that justify expansion.

Specialization avoids the risk of running afoul of regulatory bodies … or never winning entry into a new market in the first place.

EXIT STRATEGY

Your exit strategy, if that is your goal, should be established well before the time comes to make the move. We help you develop strategies to achieve maximum valuation for a successful exit or to go public.

Whether your goal is to maintain ownership for continued growth and profitability, consolidate, merger, get acquired or go public, having a roadmap to adapt to the changing industry is imperative.

A significant factor to consider when mapping out your business exit strategy is how the cannabis industry will continue to grow and mature. Recognizing future opportunities and threats will prepare your business to adapt, evolve and leave you in the best position to relinquish control when the time is right.

We have decades of experience in financing, planning and taking companies public in the regular business world. For the past decade we have leveraged that knowledge and expertise in the cannabis industry.

We can help you take control of your future.
