Licensing Analysis
Do you want to know where the best places are to cultivate or set up a retail store? Have you done your own research to compare license requirements in different cities, counties, or states and want an experienced perspective? Our consultants understand how the government works and can tell you what you need to know about cannabis licensing, as well as all the other laws and regulations you will need to follow.
Our Licensing Analysis is designed to answer the following questions:
- What does my preferred city or county allow?
- How does my selection of cities or counties compare with each other?
- How long will the local permitting process take and what are the steps?
- What other approvals do I need and how do I get them?
- What are my chances of getting a cannabis approval and is it a good idea?
- What pitfalls or roadblocks should I expect?
Our Process
Our Licensing Analysis involves the following steps:
Complete Intake Questionnaire
• Our team will start our analysis by first collaborating with you to complete a questionnaire that identifies your license preferences.
Identify Search Criteria
• Our experienced strategists will then identify the specific search criteria we will use to conduct the analysis from your responses as well as our own review.
Conduct Analysis
• Our team will then conduct our analysis in which we review each of the selected cities, counties, or states selected according to the identified search criteria. This analysis is completed through GIIS mapping and a review of all pertinent regulations.
Prepare Report
• We will prepare a report that compiles our search criteria and provides our findings and recommendations
Discuss Recommendations
• Our strategists will finally meet with you and discuss our recommendations, which may include taking the next steps necessary to obtain a license or refining our search criteria.
