A Partnership Success Story
The coronavirus pandemic proved to us that the marketplace is resilient. It also allowed for the emergence and explosion of many industries despite the worldwide lockdown.
For example, the hemp and CBD (cannabidiol) market has exploded in recent years. Policy changes around the country are allowing more and more firms to enter this market by simply innovating existing products or services by incorporating cannabinoids. But despite the overwhelming support of cannabis products, federal and state regulations are not consistent with one another, still prohibit many products and services from legally entering the marketplace, and have huge pitfalls that can not only put a company out of business but also lead to significant penalties and even criminal charges.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to protect all of the investment of time and money put into an emerging industry to hire a legal strategist. Sage Business Counsel offers Partnerships within the Chief Legal Suite™. To illustrate the benefits of our Partnership, consider a hemp retailer based in Georgia, with approximately 15 employees. This startup is in its second year of business with projected revenue of approximately $5 million.
