Why is building a strong network of trusted partners important for cannabis businesses, and how can companies vet potential partners?
AlphaRoot Team
No cannabis business operates in isolation. The risk management guide notes that who you work with can determine your long‑term success and stresses building a solid ecosystem of partnerships. To vet partners:
• Check licensing and compliance history—ensure potential partners hold valid licenses and have no serious violations.
• Review insurance coverage (e.g., product liability, transportation) to confirm adequate protection.
• Assess operational practices and quality control through site visits or audits.
• Verify financial stability and confirm there are no outstanding legal or tax issues.
• Formalize agreements with clear expectations, indemnification clauses and confidentiality terms.
Carefully chosen partners strengthen supply chain resilience and reduce exposure to legal or reputational risks.
