Early-Stage Positioning & Licensing

Minnesota's new adult-use framework offers real opportunity for early movers. We work with applicants and early licensees on positioning and site strategy before the market matures.

License Applications Early Positioning Site Strategy

CannaSold is not a cannabis consulting company. It is a cannabis business brokerage and advisory platform built around one commercial promise — turning cannabis licenses, businesses, and regulated opportunities into executable transactions.

CannaSold — Strategic Position

Cannabis Regulatory Depth

Licensing, permitting, municipal approvals, and compliance across all regulated jurisdictions. We understand what makes a cannabis asset viable before we represent it.

Real Estate & Development Experience

Site selection, zoning, entitlement, and construction advisory. We don't just find buyers — we understand what it takes to actually open and operate a licensed cannabis business.

Transaction Execution Focus

Every engagement is structured toward a paid outcome. We don't consult indefinitely. We close — and our compensation reflects that commitment.

Every service a cannabis
operator actually needs.

Business Sales & Brokerage

Full sale and acquisition brokerage for operating dispensaries, cultivation businesses, processing operations, and vertically integrated cannabis companies. We represent both sellers and buyers through negotiation and closing.

License Sales & Transfers

Strategic advisory and brokerage for state-issued cannabis license transfers. We help license holders understand market value, structure compliant transfers, and identify qualified buyers or operating partners.

Turnkey Development Opportunities

Pre-operational cannabis businesses fully licensed at state and municipal levels. Reduces launch time, complexity, and opportunity cost for incoming operators and investors.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Strategic exit and acquisition advisory for medium-to-large operators. Positioning, qualified buyer engagement, negotiation, and transaction management for operators seeking liquidity or consolidation.

Site Selection Advisory

Market entry and expansion site analysis — zoning review, municipal ordinance research, site suitability, and property identification. We find compliant sites and help secure them through lease or acquisition.

Business Valuation

Comprehensive market valuation for cannabis operators ahead of sale, capital raise, or strategic transaction. Financial performance, license value, real estate interests, and operational factors reviewed and packaged for the market.

Licensing & Permitting

End-to-end cannabis licensing at state and municipal levels — applications, approvals, land use, site plan review, and expert narratives. Executed across merit-based, lottery, and competitive application processes.

Compliance & Lobbying

Ongoing compliance support and municipal lobbying for zoning, licensing, and regulatory framework matters. We engage officials and stakeholders to advance market entry, expansion, and operational continuity.

From first call to
signed closing.

Every engagement follows a clear structure. We start with a conversation, move to a paid mandate, and drive every engagement toward a commercial outcome.

1

Discovery Call

We learn your situation — asset type, market, timeline, goals, and deal structure. No charge. No obligation. We tell you directly whether and how we can help.

2

Paid Mandate

We execute an advisory agreement and begin the engagement. You are now a represented client with a dedicated transaction or consulting strategy.

3

Valuation & Packaging

We analyze and package the asset — financials, license status, market position, regulatory standing — and position it correctly for qualified buyers or counterparties.

4

Execution & Close

We run the transaction — buyer engagement, offer management, negotiation support, and coordination through closing. Our success fee is earned at the closing table.

Transparent.
Aligned.

We are paid to close. Every engagement is structured so our compensation is tied to your outcome — not the number of hours we bill.

Advisory retainers are collected at mandate execution and credited against the success fee when a transaction closes. We do not provide detailed valuation, buyer lists, or strategy without a signed engagement. Contact us to discuss rates specific to your situation.
