For hemp flower & pre-rolls: Present your model for CBD products, hemp goods and wholesale orders to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared.

We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; pricing, limits, and terms depend on the acquirer's review. Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
