Deliverables

  • Compliance guidance for packaging/labeling claims and recall preparation.
  • Claims advocacy from notice to resolution.
  • Multi-state scheduling for MSOs and growth-stage operators.
Pricing

What Drives Cost

Higher gross receipts, heavy edibles/vape mix, and delivery volume typically raise GL/Product rates. We match deductibles and limits to lease requirements so you don’t overspend.
Controlled entry, alarms, camera coverage, safes, and sprinklers materially improve Property/Crime appetite and pricing.
Closed-loop systems, ventilation, certification, housekeeping logs, and third-party inspections help eligibility and limit loadings for processors/labs.
Stage values, environmental monitoring, and business income needs influence both Property and Crop pricing.
