Licensing & Applications
Marijuana Business Lawyers
Before starting a business in the cannabis industry, business owners need
to obtain the required licenses to operate a legal marijuana business.
Cannabis entrepreneurs need to be licensed by the state and their local
jurisdiction in order to conduct business in the state, and each state
and locality have different license application processes for business
owners to complete. Using an experienced cannabis attorney to help navigate
the license application process can dramatically reduce the time and effort
it takes to complete your license application.
The first step of the licensing process is to make sure your local government
allows marijuana businesses to operate in the jurisdiction. Each state
law creating a legal marijuana industry allows local jurisdictions to
opt out of the program and many do so for various reasons. Once you’ve
identified a local jurisdiction that will allow your business to operate,
you can start the cannabis license application process.
While each cannabis license application is different, most of them want
to know who owns the business, how the business is funded, and who outside
the ownership group has the ability to control the business. Some license
applications may ask for detailed operating and security plans while others
require a social equity plan to demonstrate how your business will support
the community. Having a knowledgeable cannabis business licensing attorney
in your corner will help simplify the application process simple and allow
you to focus on growing your cannabis business.
