Written by Alexandra Hicks

Cannabis venture capitalists and investors are in high demand at the moment, and the need for them will only continue to grow.

As anyone in the cannabis industry already knows, getting a loan or any kind of funding can pose a challenge. Due to the federal regulations against cannabis, banks are often wary of giving out loans for these types of businesses, regardless of how organized and profitable your business proposal may be.

Backers who support the industry and are willing to help you accomplish your financial goals are a valuable asset for any business. Fortunately, word is getting around about what a wise move it is to invest in this industry. Private stakeholders make great returns and can quickly see massive profits. Even Wall Street investors are dipping their feet into the cannabis industry.

Application and Loan Process

Cannabis business owners need funding for a gamut of items including inventory, payroll, taxes, new hires, advertising, real estate, expansion, and so on. Because the turnaround time for profits from cannabis businesses are so fast, they usually only need to borrow capital for a short period.

 

Private lenders can generally provide the funds quickly and frequently. The application process is usually quite simple and you’ll normally receive a decision within 24 to 72 hours. Remember to have a few things handy such as the loan application itself, a valid form of identification, your social security number, and the last six months of bank statements. Also, make sure to include a detailed business proposal to help the lender better understand your needs.

If you’re approved, you can have your money and be on the road to a new and exciting business adventure in just days!

There’s a lot of money to be made investing in the cannabis industry. Whether you’re a business owner interested in obtaining a loan, or you’re a financier looking for a cannabis company to invest your money into, the most important thing is to know where to look.

If you’re in need of funding for your cannabis business, a reputable lender will know what you need to help make your vision come to life.
