If you cannot get a traditional bank loan or just need some help to get your business up and running, consider applying for a cannabis line of credit.

A line of credit is similar to a traditional bank loan in that you borrow money at one point and then repay it over time (usually with interest). But unlike a traditional bank loan, the line of credit can be used as needed and paid back in full whenever you choose. This flexibility makes the line of credit ideal for businesses with irregular cash flow or seasonal fluctuations.

A cannabis line of credit can help cover all sorts of expenses — from payroll, taxes, and insurance premiums to marketing and advertising campaigns — so it’s especially useful for startups that don’t have an established revenue stream. The funds also can be used for general operating costs, such as rent or supplies, which may not be eligible for traditional financing options due to their short-term nature.
