I Need to Raise Money for my Cannabis Company? How Can I Do It?

Do You NEED Investors? Does Your Company Need Working Capital to Startup Your Cannabis Business?

You got the license, you got the team, you got the real estate, you got the knowhow to be a success, but you DON’T have the money to build out your facility, purchase all the needed equipment, and have working capital in the bank to make sure you have enough money so that the staff is paid, your bills are paid, and you have the capital reserves left over in the war chest in case of emergencies. Lawyers and Accountants are not cheap. Neither is Insurance.

For that matter, neither is purchasing the real estate for your operation, building out or retrofitting your facility, and acquiring all of the equipment needed (Capital Expenditures) to successfully operate, grow, and be successful.

How Do I Raise The Capital I Need to Fund My Company from Investors?

Most companies, cannabis or not, will do an Investment Offering Round to raise the needed funds from investors. The offering usually consists of your company offering a certain percentage of equity/shares to Investors in exchange for the Capital needed to launch the company.

In exchange for this, investors get a very high rate of return, first rights to their share of the net income every year, the profit you make. And also a lot of times the investors will have first rights to their share of the sales proceeds from selling the business, if this is your eventual exit strategy. All this is done through EQUITY FINANCING.

Equity Financing

With equity financing, you sell shares of your company to investors in exchange for capital. This type of funding is typically used for long-term projects, such as building a new facility or expanding into new markets.

HOW ON EARTH DO I OFFER EQUITY FINANCING?

A Private Investment Offering Round

Many cannabis companies have been able to secure seed-funding from angel investors or private VC’s, but this isn’t a viable option for everyone. Venture capitalists and independent angel investors typically invest in cannabis start-ups on quite aggressive terms that require diluting the company. Furthermore, average entrepreneurs simply don’t have access to private investors. Giving up equity is not a bad option when gaining expertise from an experienced partner, but entrepreneurs should be careful that they’re not diluting their company more than they need to- especially if investors won’t be useful partners.
