Our M&A Process

How cannabis transactions get done at Cannaspire

Cannabis M&A is fundamentally different from a standard business sale — license transfer, regulator approval, and municipal sign-off all sit inside the deal timeline. Here is how we run it.

Valuation

Confidential valuation of the business, license, and real estate based on revenue, license scarcity, and market comps.

Confidential marketing

NDA-gated marketing to our buyer and investor network — no public disclosure of the seller’s identity.

Buyer matching

Qualified buyers reviewed for regulatory eligibility, capital, and operating fit before introductions.

Diligence & LOI

We manage diligence, term sheets, and definitive-document negotiation alongside legal counsel.

License transfer & close

Regulator and municipal change-of-ownership filings managed end-to-end until the asset transfers.

FAQ

Cannabis M&A & brokerage questions

What does a cannabis M&A advisor do?

A cannabis M&A advisor sources, structures, and brokers cannabis business and license transactions — valuation, confidential marketing, buyer/seller matching, diligence, negotiation, and managing the regulatory change-of-ownership process through close. Cannaspire is a cannabis-only M&A advisory and business brokerage.

How is a cannabis business valued?

Cannabis business valuation factors in license scarcity in the state, revenue and EBITDA, the operating footprint (locations, square footage, real estate), license type and use class, market maturity, and recent comparable transactions. License-only deals are valued separately from operating-business deals.

Can a cannabis license be sold without the business?

In many jurisdictions, yes — license rights can be transferred through an approved change of ownership or control. In others, licenses are tied to a specific entity or location. The path depends on state law and license type; we structure each deal accordingly.

How long does a cannabis M&A transaction take?

Cannabis transactions typically take several months from LOI to close, with the critical path being regulator and municipal approval of the change of ownership. Some states process transfers in 60–90 days; others can take six months or longer. We build the timeline into the deal structure.

Is the process confidential?

Yes. Every Cannaspire engagement is NDA-protected. Sellers are not publicly identified; buyers are vetted for eligibility, capital, and operating fit before introductions. Public marketplace listings only surface details the seller has authorized.

What does Cannaspire charge?

Cannaspire works on a success-fee basis tied to closed transactions. Fees vary by deal size, complexity, and asset class. We discuss fee structure during the initial advisory conversation — no upfront charge to explore a transaction.

Selling, buying, or investing in cannabis?

Cannaspire brokers the deal end-to-end. Start a confidential conversation — valuation for sellers, sourcing for buyers, deal flow for investors.
