Our story

Built from the most regulated corner of the industry

Cannaspire started as CannaBeSecure — a firm focused on the part of cannabis where mistakes are most expensive: security and compliance. Clients kept asking us for more, because the people who can get a facility through inspection tend to understand everything that leads up to it.

In January 2022 we rebranded as Cannaspire to reflect what we had become: an end-to-end consulting firm covering licensing applications, business plans and pro formas, facility design, operational readiness, fractional compliance, GMP and ISO certification, and M&A advisory.

Today we work with cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, wholesalers, distributors, and testing labs — from first-time applicants to multi-state enterprises — plus the policymakers and regulators who shape the rules.
