Get in on a Hot Industry with Cannabis Loans

With more and more states legalizing marijuana for recreational and medicinal use, the cannabis industry is exploding. Learn how to get in on this burgeoning industry with Colorado Cannabis Business Loans.

Today, marijuana is legal for recreational use in nine states and is legal for medicinal use in 30 states, including Colorado. If you're looking to get into the business, there are a few steps you can take first.

  1. Find out if your county or city is currently allowing applications for licenses. Because the government is trying to control the number of new cannabis dispensaries that pop up, some cities and counties limit the licenses they award.
  2. Make a corporate structure for your new marijuana business. Build a corporate structure that's compliant with the state's regulations.
  3. Have a solid business plan. Do your research and come up with a business plan that includes projections and pro forma financials.
  4. Apply for all the necessary licenses. Keep in mind that the application fee can be in the thousands of dollars and that you may have to show proof that you have at least $150,000 in a financial institution.
  5. Contract cultivators and growers. Or, if you're proficient, you can grow your own.

Getting Funding for a Cannabis Business

Starting a cannabis business isn't cheap. There are a wide variety of upfront costs, including application fees, rent, and utilities for your storefront, and advertising to make people aware of your business. Plus, as we detailed above, your state may require you to have $150,000 in a bank just to apply.

So where do you get funding for a cannabis business? Some banks may be willing to help, but they're usually pretty averse to risk, and a cannabis business is riskier than most because it walks a line in terms of legality.

Another option is a hard money Colorado Cannabis Business Loan. Hard money is much easier to qualify for than a bank loan. There's no begging, jumping through hoops, or having your entire history dug up. Interest rates can be higher and the terms can be shorter, but there are also fewer fees and you can get the money in a matter of a week or two.
