Access to Loans for Legal Cannabis Businesses and Service Providers

Key points
Legal cannabis-related businesses and service providers will gain access to SBA 7(a) loans, disaster loans, and microloans.
These businesses will be able to utilize small business support programs, including small business development centers, women's business centers, SCORE, and veteran business outreach centers.
The act seeks to remove barriers to financing and support for legally operating cannabis businesses, potentially contributing to their growth and stability.
