Risk in Focus :: Cannabis Q2 2023

Companies that legally grow, process and sell cannabis products share many of the same business risks with companies engaged in other agricultural commodities and consumer products. But cannabis companies also confront unique risks and challenges due to federal legality issues, popular sentiment about their product and the evolution of their relatively new industry.

In this paper, we’ll explore three significant risks currently facing cannabis business leaders. We’ll also present some suggested steps and best practices they can consider that can help avoid those risks or minimize their impact in order to maintain the value of their assets, maximize profits and minimize losses.

  • Executive liability in decision making
  • Limited access to capital to evolve the business
  • Loss exposure due to property undervaluation

Insurance-based risk transfer strategies are just one set of tools at their disposal.
