Our consulting and business planning experience will support you in expanding that knowledge specific to your needs.

Compliance Assessment
Compliance is something commonly overlooked until you are being inspected, investigated, and under threat of being fined or put on probation. We pride ourselves on having a thorough understanding of regulated markets to help our client’s cultivation and retail infused-product businesses meet and maintain regulatory compliance. We work with our clients to maintain standard operating procedures in accordance with California regulations.
Are you an existing operator? Our compliance auditing and monitoring helps experienced clients navigate rapidly evolving laws and regulations that may leave you at risk. These regulatory topics include:
License Renewal Requirements
Water Disposal Procedures
Transportation Procedures
Record Keeping and Documentation Requirements
Seed-to-Sale Inventory Tracking
Packaging and Labeling Requirements
Security Requirements
Product Storage
Mandatory Signage
Applications & Licensing
California is still developing a functional and effective licensing and registration system which has lead to many changes that can be tedious for you to track. Our staff assesses the necessary details of your facility to secure the state-issued license that applies to you.
We walk our clients through the facility design process to establish a clear operation plan that is submitted in your application. Handling application can be costly; this is why our top priority is to help make business planning a positive experience by teaching our clients how to produce the highest quality products with the lowest cost of production. When a license has been secured, our team will support you in becoming fully operational in this emerging industry.
Business Structure and Registration
We assist clients in determining the best business structure for your cannabis business in order to protect your assets and limit personal liability. Other issues to take into consideration in determining the best structure for your business include transferability, privacy, and raising money. Once we have determined the best structure for your business, we will assist in forming your business and draft all necessary documents.
Business Plan:
Getting your business started can be a difficult task. With a concise business plan in place, the process of getting your business off the ground will be much more seamless. We can help lay the foundation of your business by putting together a plan that achieves your unique goals and provides credibility to your business and confidence to your potential investors.
