  2. ABOUT ME In the early days of the cannabis industry, many startups had to rely on friends and family for initial capital.

  3. WHAT IS CANNABIS BUSINESS FINANCING? In this process, lenders supply money and resources to get an organization off the ground. It can take many different forms, some of which are mentioned below. The first thing to understand for buyers is that financing is not the same as an investment. Funding is giving someone money to start a business. Investment is giving someone money in the hopes that it will make you money. Funding happens at the beginning of the company’s lifecycle: when the founders are getting their idea off the ground, creating a product, and bringing it to market. Investors fund businesses by giving them money in exchange for a return on the investment. In the cannabis industry, this would be in the form of an equity stake in the company.

  4. WHY IS CANNABIS BUSINESS FINANCING SO IMPORTANT? The cannabis industry is still growing from its babyhood and projects rapid growth over the next few years and beyond. Because of this, loan experts expect a significant need for financing. The need for funding has continuously seen growth for over a decade now. Investment in the cannabis industry is projected to reach $75 billion by 2025. With such a huge possibility for growth, it’s no surprise that cannabis financing is so important. As a founder, you’ll likely need some form of cannabis business financing to get your company off the ground. Even if you have a great idea and have put a lot of time into research and development, you’ll still need a source of capital to make your company a reality. It’s not easy to get financing for a cannabis startup, but it is getting easier. UPWISE CAPITAL

  5. UPWISE CAPITAL EQUITY FINANCING DEBT FINANCING One of the most common formats of cannabis financing is equity financing. Equity financing helps when investors give you money in exchange for a part of your company. One of the biggest challenges cannabis startups face is accessing early-stage capital. Investors are wary of putting money into a business they cannot be 100% sure will stay legal in the future. Luckily, plenty of equity funding options are available for cannabis businesses. One of the most prominent equity funding sources is through a cannabis angel investor network. Angel investors are individuals who make small, unsecured investments in startups. Most angel investors are well-connected and can provide valuable advice to cannabis businesses at all life cycle stages. Debt financing is when you borrow capital from a lender or institution. This is a very common method of funding for many companies, including cannabis startups. It’s also a great option for companies needing quick capital access. Further, it also makes up for a viable option for cannabis startups as many debt financing options are now available. Cannabis businesses have access to various debt financing options. The most common are commercial loans, loans from financial institutions, and credit lines. You can access commercial loans from banks, credit unions, and venture capital firms.

  6. MARIJUANA MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS (M&A) M&A is when one company buys another. It has become common practice in the cannabis industry and can be a great way to acquire new customers, increase brand awareness, and acquire cannabis inventory. It’s also an effective way to raise capital for your business and acquire assets at the same time. If you are looking to acquire another company and raise capital, you’ll likely want to use an M&A strategy. There are many cannabis investment groups that specialize in matching cannabis companies with each other.
