Cannabis related businesses have numerous barriers to overcome. We help establish an effective financial model that includes staffing, capital expenditures, revenue and operating costs. We ensure that costs and projections are aligned with our clients’ markets, facility designs, state and local regulations, and the way in which they support employees, partners and vendors.
We build relationships with elected officials and administrators alike, and coordinate with industry peers and relevant industry associations to support collective legislative goals and lobbying efforts. Our work helps clients navigate complex and changing regulatory structures for the production and distribution and cannabinoid-based ingredients and products, and our track record of success includes meaningful policy reform that facilitates revenue growth for our clients.
Obtaining licenses and maintaining compliance is time-consuming and often expensive. We streamline the process at the federal, state and local levels to ensure your operations are commenced with speed and efficiency. We guide you through every step of the licensing strategy and process to ensure that all requirements are met or exceeded, and that the business plan comports with evolving state and local regulations. We have successfully secured licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including in competitive processes where a limited number of permits were awarded.
We write speeches and talking points, plan and execute both earned and paid media campaigns, and develop and deliver important internal and stakeholder communications. Cordillera has been contributing to cannabis-related media for a decade, and has the relationships and knowledge to generate positive coverage and outcomes for our clients. From news releases and Op/Eds to interview and media training, to investor and stakeholder relations, Cordillera is a trusted communications advisor.
