Sell Your Cannabis Business in Canada
Canadian legal cannabis is the most regulated industry to transact in. Licensed retail stores trade based on location, lease, license value (not always transferable), and market positioning. Production licenses (LP status) are valuable but heavily scrutinized. We've worked on Canadian cannabis transactions across BC and Ontario.

Industry-Specific Challenges We Handle
The deal-breakers we've seen — and how we address each one.
Most provincial licenses require regulatory approval to transfer. Plan 90–180 days. Some licenses do not transfer at all (asset sale only).
Cannabis-touching transactions face banking restrictions. Specialty banks (DGB Capital, others) and structured payment terms are common.
Buyer compliance DD is intense — seed-to-sale tracking, employee screening, surveillance, vault standards all reviewed.
