FundCanna, the leading provider of capital to small to medium-sized businesses in the cannabis sector, has entered into an exclusive finance partnership with gGRO Horticulture, a technology company focused on providing innovative lighting systems to cultivators for growing high-quality cannabis. This partnership aims to provide financing to eligible buyers of gGRO’s lighting products, with approvals within 24 hours. Many cannabis companies desire to upgrade their systems with gGRO’s patented technology but cannot due to a lack of upfront capital. With this partnership, FundCanna and gGRO will become long-term partners to these companies to improve their yields, become more efficient, and ultimately improve their business.
The partnership between FundCanna and gGRO will bring gGRO’s top-level lighting products to cannabis companies in a more accessible way than ever before. gGRO’s patented technology significantly increases yield while providing energy savings over traditional lighting setups. In addition, with FundCanna being a leading provider of cannabis financing for cultivation companies, over 20% of FundCanna’s clients are in the cultivation vertical. By combining gGRO’s innovative lighting systems and FundCanna’s financing solutions, cultivators nationwide can significantly improve their daily operations, yield, and produce the highest quality cannabis.
The Liquidity Issue Experienced In The Cannabis Industry
The cannabis industry has been experiencing liquidity issues due to various factors. One of the primary reasons for this is the lack of access to traditional banking services. Cannabis is still illegal at the federal level in the United States, so most banks and financial institutions hesitate to work with cannabis-related businesses. As a result, cannabis companies are often forced to operate on a cash-only basis, making it difficult to manage finances and access capital. This lack of access to traditional banking services also makes it difficult for cannabis companies to obtain loans or lines of credit, further exacerbating their liquidity issues.
Another factor contributing to the liquidity issues in the cannabis industry is the high cost of compliance. Because cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, cannabis companies are subject to a wide range of state and local regulations. These regulations can be time-consuming and expensive to comply with, and failure to do so can result in hefty fines and other penalties. The cost of compliance can be incredibly challenging for small and medium-sized cannabis companies, which may not have the resources to keep up with changing regulations.
Finally, the volatility of the cannabis industry itself can also contribute to liquidity issues. Cannabis is a relatively new industry, and as such, it is subject to a wide range of market forces that can impact revenue and profitability. Additionally, the legal and regulatory landscape for cannabis is still evolving, making it difficult for companies to plan for the future. These uncertainties can make it difficult for cannabis companies to secure financing, as lenders and investors may be hesitant to invest in a market that is still somewhat unpredictable.
