Our expertise helps you navigate the complexities of forming a compliant and successful cannabis business.
#### Business Formation Services
Our business formation services include a thorough understanding of the requirements for starting a cannabis-related business in California.
We guide you through the various steps involved in establishing your company, ensuring that you are set up for success from the very beginning.
1. **Business Structure Consultation**: We help you choose the right business structure
for your cannabis venture, whether it be a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or
corporation. This decision is critical, as it impacts liability, taxation, and compliance
requirements.
2. **Compliance Review**: We conduct a comprehensive review of local regulations and
requirements, ensuring that your business formation aligns with California cannabis laws
and any city-specific regulations.
3. **City Permits**: In addition to state-level compliance, we assist you in obtaining any
necessary city permits and licenses required for your cannabis business. This includes
navigating local ordinances and ensuring that all permits are in place before you begin
operations.

your business needs, including essential details such as the business name, purpose,

State, making sure all paperwork is completed correctly to prevent delays in your
business formation.

are essential for defining the roles and responsibilities of directors and officers, and they
help maintain order within your organization.
