How Do I Get Premium Financing for my Cannabis Operation?

The financial demands of operating a cannabis business, or any business, can cause companies to look for finance options to help make operating costs like insurance more affordable. While many finance options are available, the best choice is often working with insurance providers to secure financing for insurance premiums.

Insurance Finance Options

If you are looking to finance your insurance policy, rather than making a larger single payment upfront, there are several options available to you to help manage operating costs.

Bank Loans

For most businesses in traditional industries, bank loans are the first choice in finance methods for business needs. However, for those in the cannabis space, banking services are largely unavailable. When bank loans can be secured, interest rates may be prohibitively high.

Cannabis Only Lenders

To fill the void left by banks uninterested in the risks associated with the cannabis industry, some industry-specific lenders have emerged to meet demand. While many of these lenders work ethically to help cannabis entities gain funding, some others are less trustworthy. In either case, high interest rates often make these lenders a final option.

Premium Financing

Some insurance providers extend an option to finance your insurance premium with payments. These payment options are typically broken down into monthly or quarterly installments, making it easier for cannabis companies to manage costs.
