About Us
We acquire California cannabis licenses and dispensaries. Messy situations are our specialty.
We Buy the Deals Others Won't Touch
The California cannabis market is full of operators who need an exit but can't find a buyer willing to deal with their situation. CDTFA debt, landlord disputes, vendor pressure, partnership conflicts, compliance issues — these problems scare off most acquirers.
We see opportunity where others see risk.
Our focus is on acquiring cannabis licenses and dispensaries that need creative structuring. We have the experience and capital to navigate complex situations and close deals that traditional buyers can't or won't pursue.
Speed
We make decisions fast and close faster. When you're under pressure, time matters.
Discretion
Your situation stays private. We don't broadcast deals or share your business with the market.
Straight Talk
We tell you where you stand. No stringing you along, no games, no hidden agendas.
Problem Solving
We've seen complicated deals and know how to structure around obstacles. Your "ugly" is our specialty.
Why "Ugly" Dispensaries?
The cannabis industry is notorious for high-profile failures and messy exits. Operators who invested everything — time, money, relationships — find themselves stuck with licenses they can't sell through normal channels.
Maybe you owe the state a six-figure tax bill. Maybe your landlord is threatening eviction. Maybe your partners are at each other's throats. Maybe you simply burned out and want out.
These situations aren't pretty. They're "ugly." And that's exactly where we operate.
We don't need your dispensary to be a top performer. We don't need clean books and a landlord who loves you. We buy the ugly ones — and we pay cash.
What We're Not
Clarity about who we are includes being clear about who we're not.
We're Not Brokers
We buy direct. We're not listing your license on a marketplace or shopping it around to other buyers. When we make an offer, it's our offer, backed by our capital.
We're Not Consultants
We're not here to advise you on how to fix your business. We're here to buy it. If you want to sell, we're your people. If you want operational advice, look elsewhere.
We're Not Vultures
Yes, we specialize in distressed situations, but we aim for fair deals. We want sellers to walk away feeling like they got a reasonable outcome given their circumstances.
We're Not Attorneys or Accountants
We can structure deals creatively, but we're not providing legal or tax advice. For those matters, you should consult qualified professionals.
