Regulatory Diligence for Investors
Independent, operator-grade diligence on the regulatory position of a target license or operator — before capital moves. License standing, ownership-disclosure integrity, municipal risk, and the entitlement facts that determine whether the asset a buyer is pricing actually exists.
How the work is shaped
Most cannabis and regulated-industry investment losses are not operating losses; they are diligence failures. The license had a condition nobody read. The cap table shown to investors did not match the one filed with the regulator. The buildout was never permitted, and the certificate of occupancy does not cover the use. These facts are all discoverable before closing — by someone who knows which municipal counter to stand at and which regulator database to pull.
The practice runs diligence from the operator’s side of the table: the same records review a licensing authority would run, performed for the party writing the check. Deliverable is a written findings memo with document-level citations — suitable for an investment committee, a lender file, or a purchase-agreement schedule.
