A cannabis business plan is usually a requirement for investors and license applications. Investors want to be sure that their investment will pay off, and governments want to see that your decision to start a cannabis business is thought through every step of the way. Your business plan is the tool you will use to convince people that working with you or investing in your company is the smart choice. Any business starts with an idea, but the most important step is to create a detailed financial model that reflects real conditions. Our cannabis financial model uses a mix of assumptions to estimate all revenue and cost line-items monthly over a flexible seven year period, and then sums the monthly results into quarters and years for an easy view into the various time periods to create a set of financial statements, consisting of cash flow, income statement, and balance sheet, which allows you to build a complete financial plan as a part of your cannabis business plan.
