• Recreational Dispensary — While commercial real estate lenders have so far been reticent to fully embrace the dispensary market, private debt or equity financing for retail dispensaries of recreational marijuana is starting to grow. Lenders will look for a track record of solid, consistent revenue. Use the Lender Search engine above to find a lender. Make sure to select “Retail” under the “Property Type” dropdown and “Cannabis – Recreational Dispensary” under the “Retail” dropdown.
• Medical Dispensary — The same as above, but for dispensaries of medical marijuana. Find lenders for this property type by selecting “Medical/Healthcare” under the “Property Type” dropdown and “Cannabis – Medical Dispensary” under the “Retail” dropdown.
• Grow Operation — Many lenders are surfacing for the funding of facilities where marijuana is grown and cultivated. These can be financed through private, hard money products or via some commercial real estate lenders willing to offer short-term mortgages or bridge loans. Select “Agricultural” under the “Property Type” dropdown and “Cannabis Grow Operation” under the “Agricultural” dropdown.
• Manufacturing Facility — As with grow operations, some commercial real estate lenders are increasingly becoming willing to fund facilities that manufacture cannabis products. Of course, private funding is also available. Find a lender by selecting “Industrial” under the “Property Type” dropdown and “Cannabis Manufacturing” under the “Industrial” dropdown.
• Equipment Loans and Leasing — If you need capital to buy new equipment, loans and leasing are available for acquiring and upgrading various cannabis growing and processing materials, including lighting, HVAC, CO2 extraction, irrigation and more.
• Business Loans — Since banks don’t lend to cannabis businesses, many lenders who offer real estate and equipment-related loans also lend to entrepreneurs who need capital for non-real estate purposes, such as inventory, marketing, payroll and business expansion. Funding is available via short-term loans, revolving lines of credit and cash advances.
