Business Development and Operational Planning

If you have been a licensed cannabis operator that has achieved some level of success in an existing market, it may be time to consider expanding into another state or country. Taking this step requires intensive planning and preparations, and even the most capable businesses may find their bandwidth, understanding, or resources limited when determining how they will achieve results.

Harvest 360 has helped brands and operators expand their footprint into new markets by either securing licenses and launching operations directly or through brand licensing partnerships. Contact us to discuss your expansion plans, and we may be able to assist.
