At Cann Strategy, we understand that every project is unique and requires a tailored approach. We offer flexible project structures to best meet the needs of our clients while ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment of goals.

Licensing Projects: For licensing projects, we typically operate on a flat-rate basis, with payments made in pre-established portions over a set time frame. The exact rate, time frame, and payment structure vary depending on factors such as the competitiveness of the application process, market dynamics, and the level of service selected by the client. We offer tiered service levels – diamond, platinum, and gold – each with a different scope of work. Additionally, for larger licensing projects, a portion of the overall fee may be structured as a "success fee," payable only upon the client being announced as a selected applicant.

Operational Stand-Up Projects: Operational stand-up projects are usually structured as a monthly fee with set benchmarks and goals. This ensures that our incentives are aligned with our clients' goals, fostering a collaborative and productive working relationship.

Special Projects and Business Development: Special projects and business development initiatives with specific target outcomes are structured as flat fees based on the project's scope. Payments are allocated into defined quantities over the project's duration, providing clarity and predictability.

Retainer Service: Our retainer service operates on a monthly structure with a flat fee and agreed-upon parameters. This service serves as ongoing support for our clients, offering strategic guidance and assistance. Clients may choose to retain our services for a short period or on a long-term basis, depending on their needs.

Hourly Structure and In-Person Meetings: We do not provide services on an hourly basis, as we believe it does not benefit either us or our clients.

At Cann Strategy, our goal is to provide comprehensive and effective solutions to our clients, ensuring their success in the dynamic and competitive cannabis industry.

Yes, of course! For clients who desire or require in-person meetings or on-site visits, we offer an option to request these with reimbursed travel and expenses, depending on the project's scope and requirements.

There are several types of licenses available depending on the state, including cultivation, manufacturing/processing, dispensary/retail, distribution, delivery, testing laboratory licenses, among others.

No, cannabis remains illegal under federal law in the United States. However, many states have legalized cannabis for medical or recreational use within their jurisdictions.

Despite state-level legalization, federal illegality can affect banking, taxation (e.g., IRS 280E), and interstate commerce for cannabis businesses. Cann Strategy helps clients understand these implications and develop strategies to mitigate risks.

The DEA's announcement of their plan to reschedule cannabis to a Schedule III controlled substance instead of it's current status as a Schedule I controlled substance may relieve some of the financial and taxation burdens that weigh many businesses down from realizing the full potential of the progress they are capable of.

The competitiveness varies by state and license type. Some states have limited license allocations leading to highly competitive application processes. Cann Strategy can help strengthen your application to improve your chances of success.

Investment opportunities range from direct business ownership (cultivation facilities, dispensaries) to ancillary services (technology solutions, equipment sales). Investors may also consider funding startups or joining a venture capital fund focused on cannabis.

Regulations can change frequently as legislative bodies adjust policies related to public health concerns or economic objectives. It's essential to have a partner like Cann Strategy that monitors these changes closely.
