Cannabis Business Due Diligence
Know exactly who and what you are investing in
Cannabis moves fast, runs on cash, and attracts operators whose past does not always match their pitch. Before you invest, acquire, or partner, we verify the people, the money, and the business behind the opportunity so your capital and your license are protected.
What We Do
Investigative Diligence for Cannabis Deals
Standard reports search the same public databases everyone else does. We go further, conducting live source interviews, tracing capital, and verifying the claims that drive your valuation. Whether you are vetting a single partner or an acquisition pipeline, we surface the risks before they become your liability.
We go beyond databases, interviewing former partners, employees, and industry contacts to surface what automated reports and a polished deck leave out.
Cannabis carries banking limits and unusual capital structures. We know where undisclosed money and control tend to hide and how to trace them.
Each engagement answers the specific questions behind your deal, whether that is a single owner or an entire acquisition target list.
Findings are documented and structured to support your board, your lender, and your legal counsel through diligence and closing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I vet a cannabis business before investing in it?
Verify the people, the money, and the business behind the opportunity before capital moves. That means deep background on founders, executives, and license holders, a source of funds review, litigation and liability checks across every relevant jurisdiction, and live source interviews with former partners, employees, and industry contacts.
What is a source of funds review in a cannabis deal?
It is an investigation into where capital originates. Because cannabis carries banking limits and unusual capital structures, a source of funds review surfaces undisclosed backers and money that could carry legal or reputational risk in a cash-heavy industry.
Why does cannabis due diligence require a specialized investigator?
Cannabis moves fast, runs on cash, and attracts operators whose past does not always match their pitch. Green Rush valuations, undisclosed backers, and operators moving between states can hide real risk behind a polished deck, and we know where undisclosed money and control tend to hide and how to trace them.
What does due diligence on a dispensary or brand acquisition cover?
Pre-transaction investigation of target dispensaries, brands, and cultivators verifies the claims that drive your valuation and surfaces liabilities that never make the pitch deck. We also vet testing labs, distributors, and supply partners whose failures become your compliance and product-liability problems, and findings are documented to support your board, your lender, and your legal counsel through diligence and closing.
