A significant number of  cannabis and hemp entrepreneurs tap private funding to start their ventures. Private money can come from savings, friends and family, or hard money which can be easier to access; however, increased risk accompanies these funding options. It is not unheard of for individuals to lose their life savings or encumber themselves via the high rates of hard money loans when they  find themselves in a difficult position when a cannabis venture fails. Our attorneys are realistic about funding needs and can assist in  mitigating risk by structuring deals to insulate visionaries and their funders.
