The flawless inspection marks the final step in securing a full license, underscoring the client’s operational excellence and Canna Advisors’ proven expertise in cannabis business development and compliance.
“WE DID IT!!!! License secured!!!! We had our inspection and we passed with flying colors. Our inspectors said they had never read such a well put together application, and were actually passing it around to other inspectors!! During the inspection they said they had zero points for us to fix and even told me I should lead a class on how to open a dispensary. We are over the moon.”
