Michigan Class C Grower License Requirements
For those seeking a Class C license for cannabis cultivation, you should know that the state has minimum capital requirements. This means that potential licensees must have a certain amount of money on hand to be considered for the license. In Michigan, this capital requirement is $500,000.
As a result, applicants must list their resources in addition to the overall amount of money they intend to use for operations and facility maintenance.
In addition, applicants must also demonstrate the following:
- 25 percent of the capital in liquid assets they intend to utilize to cover your operating and maintenance expenses for their proposed cannabis facility as stated in the application.
- The applicant must be in possession of cannabis inventory that adheres to the Michigan medical marihuana act’s compliance demands and they must be a registered qualifying patient or registered primary caregiver.
- The most amount of cannabis and plants that can be utilized as inventory for the purpose of this subdivision is 15 ounces of usable cannabis or 72 cannabis plants to meet the capitalization requirement established by the state.
- None of the assets offered as sources of capital are encumbered or have a lien against them.
In order to confirm the validity of your capital sources and totals, you must have CPA-attested financial statements. Northstar can help you obtain these if needed. You will also need to disclose any foreign capital sources that you have, and a domestic CPA will need to validate with a foreign CPA in order to confirm the validation from abroad.
