This is an exciting time for Michigan entrepreneurs because this new business opportunity is sure to create dozens of successful businesses earning excellent returns on capital.  However, these businesses are not for the dabbler. Simply because you’ve run a successful grow operation as a patient or caregiver does not mean you can scale it and be successful.  In this new, more competitive arena success will require teamwork, and your team should include lawyers CPAs and finance and investment professionals.

Also, capital requirements are likely to be significant.  A recent meeting of LARA suggested the minimum capital requirement could be as much $150,000 for a Class A grower to $500,000 for a Class C grower.  Similar requirements are likely to be imposed for the four other licenses available.  Many think these numbers are low.  So, while there is a potential for excellent returns on capital, there is also significant risk.

If you are considering applying for a commercial Michigan marijuana license, then this book is for you.  It is available at all major online booksellers, including Amazon.

All proceeds from the book go to the Barone Winning Back Lives Foundation.
