Cannabis Business Consulting Services from Joint-Efforts

When you partner with Joint-Efforts, you benefit from full-service cannabis business consulting that covers your business plans from A to Z and beyond.

Application Writing

There’s no room for error when assembling a cannabis business application. That’s why the Joint-Efforts team is laser-focused on producing meticulously crafted written materials designed to score every possible point. This involves:

  • A complete understanding of the nuances of each state’s cannabis program

  • Thorough and original responses to each portion of the application

  • An understanding of the competitive and political landscapes in the state in which you’re applying

  • Leveraging hands-on experience to emphasize the most critical aspects of your application

Application writing needs to be unique to each operation. That’s why the Joint-Efforts team rejects the cookie-cutter approach used by some cannabis business consulting firms. We take pride in creating wholly original, tailored applications that address your specific circumstances and needs. The resulting best-in-class written materials are why we have a 98%+ success rate — a track record higher than any other cannabis business consultant in highly competitive, limited-license markets.

What Does the Application Writing Process Include?

Application writing involves much more than answering a few questions. While specific requirements vary by state, you can expect these elements to be central to the process:

  • A business plan

  • Real estate plans

  • Construction plans

  • A security plan

  • A financial and banking plan

  • Vendor management plans

  • Go-to-market strategy

  • Operational strategy

  • Compliance strategy

  • Community relations strategy

Regulatory Compliance

A well-written application is just the beginning. Regulatory compliance is essential for keeping your cannabis venture in good standing with state and local authorities. From compliant standard operating procedures (SOPs) to adhering to marketing regulations, it’s your responsibility as a license holder to follow the law precisely and stay up to date on any regulatory changes.

The experts at Joint-Efforts make this process much easier for license holders. As a key part of our cannabis business consulting services, regulatory compliance is at the core of every action we take, from advising on your business plan to writing your application and guiding you through to opening day and beyond.

Our regulatory compliance experts at Joint-Efforts can advise you in the following areas in most states with a medical or adult-use cannabis program:

  • Standard operating procedure (SOP) development

  • Data collection and reporting requirements

  • Real estate and construction requirements

  • Security and safety regulatory compliance

  • Marketing and advertising regulations

  • Local regulations in addition to state regulations

  • Regulatory changes that affect your operations

Community Relations

How will your cannabis business make a genuine impact on its community? Developing a community relations plan requires careful thought and a deep understanding of your neighbors’ wants and needs.

As licensed operators ourselves, the team at Joint-Efforts knows first-hand what regulators look for in a meaningful community relations plan. We work with your team to build relationships with key stakeholders and create actionable steps to turn your commitment into reality.
