4 Core Pillars: One-Stop Shop Cannabis Financing
1. Startup Funding & Pre-Revenue Capital
Launching a Massachusetts dispensary or cultivation facility requires $250,000 to over $1,000,000 in capital. Because federal restrictions eliminate traditional bank debt, pre-revenue operators need alternative debt positioning.
- Consultative Match: Through our Startup Loan Solutions, we match founders holding strong personal credit profiles (680+ FICO) with unsecured personal term loans and lines of credit up to $300,000 without requiring equity dilution.
- Equity Applicant Support: We assist Social Equity Program participants in combining private term loans with grants ($25,000 to $500,000) from the state’s Social Equity Trust Fund.
2. Commercial Real Estate Financing & Sale-Leasebacks
Real estate acquisitions in Boston, Worcester, and Somerville demand structured capital due to strict municipal zoning rules and high commercial costs per square foot.
- Consultative Match: We connect property buyers with debt partners offering up to 60% Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios for acquisitions or construction buildouts. Underwriters require executed municipal Host Community Agreements (HCAs) prior to closing.
- Sale-Leaseback Solutions: For operators with capital tied up in existing real estate, our team matches you with specialized REITs to execute a sale-leaseback—unlocking 100% of property equity for operational growth.
3. Equipment Financing & Asset Leasing
Meeting Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) testing and production standards requires heavy investments in extraction systems, LED arrays, climate control, and POS infrastructure.
- Consultative Match: With Equipment Financing, we route your asset requirements based on equipment type. General equipment (HVAC, delivery vehicles, security systems) earns lower interest rates, while specialized plant-touching machinery is placed with dedicated equipment funds.
- Lease vs. Loan Advisory: We evaluate whether an equipment lease (for cash flow preservation and tax deductions) or an equipment purchase loan fits your balance sheet best.
4. Working Capital & Business Lines of Credit
Wholesale cultivators in Massachusetts regularly experience 30-to-60-day pay lags from retail dispensaries, straining cash flow during wholesale price fluctuations.
- Consultative Match: Access flexible funding via a Business Line of Credit or Accounts Receivable (AR) Invoice Factoring to unlock 80%–90% of unpaid wholesale invoices within 24–48 hours.
- Cash Flow Lines: Established operations with consistent monthly bank deposits gain access to revolving working capital lines to manage tax obligations, payroll, or emergency inventory buys.
