Is working capital a good fit for cannabis & hemp processing?

Yes — working capital is one of the programs we most commonly place for cannabis & hemp processing shops. Manufacturers who need fast, flexible short-term capital to smooth cash flow or fund a specific opportunity.

How fast can a cannabis & hemp processing shop get funded?

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.

Do you charge cannabis & hemp processing manufacturers any fees?

No. We are a business consulting service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Can a cannabis or hemp business get an SBA loan?

State-licensed, plant-touching THC businesses cannot get SBA loans because cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance federally and SBA programs require federal legality. Federally legal hemp processors under the 0.3% THC threshold may qualify for SBA and other bank programs on the same basis as any manufacturer.

Can a THC-licensed operator use invoice factoring?

Rarely, and only in limited cases. Most factoring companies decline plant-touching cannabis receivables due to federal illegality and banking restrictions. Some ancillary or hemp-derived revenue tied to the same operator may still be factorable if it's cleanly separated from THC sales.

How much can I qualify for?

Amounts depend on revenue, time in business, and cash flow. Many manufacturers qualify for lines that scale with their monthly deposits.

Why cannabis & hemp processing shops choose working capital

If you're processing hemp under the 0.3% THC federal threshold — CBD extraction, fiber, grain, or hemp-derived ingredients — you're operating a legal federal business and a real slice of the financing market is open to you: equipment financing, invoice factoring on non-plant-touching receivables, and working capital lines from lenders who understand the crop.

If you're a state-licensed THC cultivator, processor, or dispensary supplier, the picture is different, and we're not going to sugarcoat it. Because cannabis is still a Schedule I substance federally, SBA loans and most bank credit, and the majority of factoring facilities, are simply off the table for plant-touching activity — that's a federal restriction, not a reflection of your business quality.

Working Capital is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Short-term capital to bridge payroll, materials, and growth spikes.
