Due Diligence Reviews to address any matter that arises within any relationship

Companies often require an independent assessment of a potential investor in order to satisfy themselves as to:

• the financial provenance of the potential funding partner; and,
• the long-term stability of the potential funding partner.

The Canna Consultants are able to undertake such forensic work and report back prior to any decision for approval or rejection of the investment funds.

Many companies within the industry are now reaching a stage in their growth whereby they have exhausted personal and family investment capital and are now ready for the next stage of their growth. This is perhaps the most crucial time that the company will ever have, because the decisions that are made now may define the company for ever:

• the ownership structure – in both the short, medium and long terms;
• the degree of expansion permissible – in both the short, medium and long terms; and,
• the exit strategies available – in both the short, medium and long terms.

We have significant connections within the financial world, both in the traditional “City” and contemporary Venture Finance. Coupled with the breadth of our contacts within the Canna Industry, The Canna Consultants have become a hub for those looking for funding and for those looking to fund.

We pride ourselves on being able to dispassionately assess the background, integrity and capability of both sides of a potential investment structure and report accordingly to both parties – we don’t seek to arrange the “marriage”, but we do clearly and openly advise all involved as to our view on the compatibility of their needs, goals and aspirations.
