There are few licensing options for some states now:

Distributor:

It requires that – while business agreements can be made directly between any licensed entities – a third-party distributor be responsible for overseeing and officially conducting any business transaction that occurs. Distributors are required track all products received, and to have them tested for quality. All distributors must also apply for a Transporter/Deliver License. From the legislative perspective, the inclusion of the “distributor” model was a necessary compromise to address the trust deficit with people who do not believe the cannabis industry is effectively and consistently self-regulating.

CANNABIS DISTRIBUTOR BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE 

Because of the issues surrounding cannabis businesses and access to banking, industry participants often use cash to pay expenses, in contrast to other businesses that would just charge a card or a check to pay for supplies, equipment, taxes and rent. This creates a need to secure and move large amounts of cash safely.

Once the products need to be transported and then reach the warehouse or dispensary shelves, cannabis companies rely on advanced security systems including visual and audio surveillance to protect their valuables.

Transporter:

Business intending to transport cannabis and cannabis products from one licensed facility to another.

CANNABIS TRANSPORTER BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE

The business model for a cannabis delivery service varies. While some companies provide actual delivery services, others such as Meadow and Eaze offer online technology platforms that cannabis consumers use to order. The orders are relayed to retailers, which perform the actual delivery.

Retailer with Add-on Delivery:

For some states delivery is allowed so long as the driver is connected with a licensed dispensary. That dispensary wouldn’t have to be a storefront; it could exist simply to serve delivery customers.
