Cannabis & Regulated Industry Funding
Private-capital options for cannabis real estate, equipment, and expansion—structured for compliance and speed.

Cannabis funding isn’t “one-size-fits-all.” The right capital depends on whether you’re THC-touching, ancillary, or hemp/CBD, and what collateral you can offer. Our role is to help you present a lender-ready scenario and match you to the right capital lane.

Best-fit scenarios:

  • Licensed operators with verifiable revenue

  • Real estate–backed requests (purchase, refinance, sale-leaseback)

  • Equipment / build-out / expansion with documented budgets

What lenders want to see

  • Active license + state compliance

  • 12 months revenue (preferred)

  • Clear use of funds + sources/uses

  • Real estate / equipment collateral (strongly preferred)

  • Transparent ownership structure

Best fit for licensed operators and ancillary businesses with verifiable operations and real collateral.

Cannabis Real Estate Loans
For owner-occupied facilities or investor-owned real estate leased to licensed operators.

Common uses

  • Purchase of facility

  • Refinance / cash-out

  • Expansion / improvements

  • Debt consolidation tied to property

Typical structures

  • First lien mortgages

  • Bridge loans (short-term)

  • Sale-leaseback (qualified operators)

General ranges (display as “typical” not “guaranteed”)

  • $500K – $25M+

  • 60–75% LTV (case-by-case)

  • Terms 12–120 months (structure-dependent)

Equipment + Build-Out Financing
For HVAC, lighting, extraction equipment, processing lines, security upgrades, and tenant improvements.

Common uses

  • New equipment purchase

  • Replacement / upgrade

  • Build-out budgets tied to invoices

  • Installation + commissioning costs

What helps approval

  • Paid invoices / bids / purchase orders

  • Proof of operations and revenue

  • Strong operator + compliance partner

Working Capital (Selective)
This lane is higher cost and more restrictive. We prioritize real collateral and transparent cash-flow.

Common uses

  • Expansion costs

  • Staffing + ramp-up

  • Marketing, packaging, distribution growth

Note: Many lenders avoid direct THC cash-flow exposure; we’ll evaluate fit before matching.

Cannabis-Adjacent & Hemp/CBD

Ancillary + Hemp/CBD Funding
If you’re not touching THC revenue directly (packaging, software, construction services, equipment suppliers), or you’re hemp/CBD compliant, financing options may be broader.

Examples

  • Packaging & labeling

  • Logistics & distribution (non-THC handling)

  • SaaS / POS / compliance tools

  • Hemp/CBD manufacturing (documentation required)

Best fit for licensed operators and ancillary businesses with verifiable operations and real collateral.

How It Works

  1. Complete the Cannabis Intake (2–4 minutes)

  2. We confirm compliance + fit (license, collateral, use of funds)

  3. We structure a lender-ready snapshot (sources/uses, collateral, docs checklist)

  4. Introductions to aligned private-capital partners

Minimum Requirements

To protect your time, we generally require:

  • State + license type (or clear application status)

  • Operating history (prefer 12+ months for THC-touching)

  • Verifiable revenue (for most non-real-estate requests)

  • Use of funds + budget

  • Ownership transparency (no hidden partners)
