What is the timeline for getting my cannabis business up and running with Cann Strategy?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your business and the specific regulatory requirements of your state. On average, from the time we start working together, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to get your dispensary, cultivation, processing, or consumption lounge ready for operation if you have a property already, and 6-12 months if you don’t yet have a property. We provide a clear roadmap and work diligently to ensure your timeline stays on track.
How do you help with selecting service providers? Do I have to use the providers you recommend?
We use our extensive network and industry knowledge to connect you with the best service providers for your specific needs—whether it’s for construction, security, POS systems, or other crucial functions. While we highly recommend these vendors based on their proven success, the final decision on service providers is always up to you.
Will Cann Strategy assist with compliance and keeping up with changing regulations?
How involved will I need to be in the process?
While we take the lead on coordinating and managing most aspects of the business set-up, your involvement is crucial, especially for key decisions like service provider selection, design choices, and hiring. We work closely with you and your internal team to ensure you’re always informed and confident in every step of the process.
Do I need to have already secured a property before working with Cann Strategy?
Can you help me set up my point-of-sale (POS) and inventory tracking systems?
Absolutely. We assist in selecting and implementing the best POS and inventory management systems tailored to your business needs. Our recommendations are based on experience and partnerships with top-tier providers in the cannabis industry.
Will Cann Strategy handle hiring for my cannabis business?
We don't act as a staffing agency, but we provide expert guidance on hiring plans, job descriptions, and candidate selection processes. Additionally, we can connect you with trusted recruiting partners if needed.
How does Cann Strategy ensure my business stays compliant throughout the setup process?
Compliance is at the core of everything we do. From helping you create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to coordinating with regulators, we ensure that every step aligns with state and local cannabis regulations. Our team stays updated on regulatory changes to keep your business ahead of the curve.
Sound strategy starts with having the right goal.
