Arizona Cannabis Loans and Financing Options

Canna Business Resources

In November 2020, Proposition 207, officially known as the Smart and Safe Act, passed into law in Arizona, making it the 15th state to legalize marijuana for adult use. Although recreational marijuana is legal in the state, it's still a challenge for cannabis business owners in Arizona to get financing. You likely won't get a business loan from a traditional bank because of federal regulations, but there are some options available if you need access to capital to expand your business. Because there's no one-size-fits-all approach for financing, it's important to understand all available options before you decide on financing. Is Cannabis legal in Arizona? Cannabis is legal in Arizona. Anyone over the age of 21 can possess up to an ounce of marijuana. They can legally walk into a dispensary with their ID and cash to purchase it — no prescription or referral is needed. Do Arizona Banks Lend Money to Cannabis Companies? Traditional banks don’t approve the majority of business loans to begin with, but the odds of financing for cannabis businesses are even lower. Despite many states approving cannabis use, it’s still illegal federally in the United States. Banks and financial institutions must abide by federal law, which makes it difficult for them to lend money to marijuana businesses. Because banks are regulated by the federal government, they are not allowed to engage in these types of transactions and can be subject to fines or even criminal charges if they do. What Are Some of the Key Factors to Consider When Looking for Cannabis Business Financing in Arizona? When it comes to securing financing for cannabis businesses in Arizona, there are several key factors that must be taken into consideration. An individual or business seeking cannabis business financing should research all potential lenders and investigate each lender’s requirements for loan qualification. Knowing the qualifications necessary before beginning the process can save time and money in the long run. Understanding what kind of financial documents will be required to properly apply for a loan is crucial. The most common documents requested include tax returns, bank statements, proof of income, a business plan and financial projections. Another important factor to consider when looking for cannabis business financing in Arizona is the cost of borrowing. Because the cannabis industry is relatively new, interest rates and repayment terms can vary widely among lenders. Researching available options and comparing rates is essential to determine which lender offers the lowest cost of borrowing. Investigate possible fees associated with obtaining a loan such as origination fees or application fees because these can significantly affect total costs over time. When exploring cannabis business financing opportunities in Arizona it is important to understand local regulations and restrictions. Depending on the specific type of cannabis product being produced or sold, certain licenses may be required from local governments or agencies to legally do business within the state. While some banks may offer loans for businesses operating within Arizona’s regulatory boundaries, some may not provide funds because of their own internal risk-management policies or because they do not wish to violate federal laws regulating marijuana use across state lines. 5 Types of Cannabis Loans for Arizona Business Owners Specialized lenders offer five basic types of cannabis loans in Arizona. Working Capital Working capital loans are ideal for businesses that need to secure additional capital for day-to-day operations. These types of loans can help businesses cover the cost of purchasing inventory, pay bills or manage cash flow. Working capital loans have flexible terms and repayment plans, making them an attractive option for businesses in the cannabis industry. When it comes to working capital loans, there are two main components: the principal loan amount and the interest rate. The amount of money available will depend on the size of your business and the repayment plan you agree to with your lender. AR Lines of Credit Another type of cannabis loan is an accounts receivable (AR) line of credit (LOC), which is best suited for businesses that are seeking financial assistance during slow periods in sales or when faced with unexpected expenses. An AR LOC acts like a revolving line of credit where businesses can draw upon their eligible receivables, such as invoices they have sent to customers, whenever they need additional funds. When customers pay those invoices, those amounts get credited back against their LOC balance, allowing them to draw down new funds if needed. As with any other type of business loan, borrowers should carefully read through all terms and conditions with lenders before entering into an agreement. Equipment Financing Cannabis equipment financing loans are specifically designed to help businesses in the cannabis industry acquire the necessary equipment for their operations. This type of loan typically has a shorter repayment term than traditional bank loans and is ideal for businesses that need short-term financing. The funds from a cannabis equipment financing loan can be used to purchase anything from computer systems and point-of-sale systems to grow lights and cultivation supplies. Commercial Real Estate Investing Commercial real estate investing for cannabis financing is another way for cannabis companies to obtain needed capital. Through this investment model, investors purchase properties or provide capital in exchange for either equity or debt in the cannabis company. Investors may also provide funding directly to the commercial real estate owner as a bridge loan or hard money loan. This investment option allows businesses to access funds without having to take on additional debt or give up ownership in their business. Real estate investments offer investors more security than other forms of investing because they are secured by physical assets such as land, buildings and other physical property. For example, if the tenant defaults on their lease payments, the investor will still receive rental income from other tenants until the matter is resolved. Cannabis companies may also use commercial real estate investments as a source of long-term capital to fund expansion projects and acquisitions. By investing in an undervalued building or property with the potential for higher value appreciation, businesses can leverage these assets for greater returns over time. Cannabis Dispensary Loans Cannabis dispensary loans are a type of financing specifically designed to help cannabis businesses fund their operations. This type of loan is becoming increasingly popular as the marijuana industry continues to grow and evolve. This specialty loan is available to marijuana-related businesses, such as dispensaries, cultivators, processors and manufacturers who are in need of funds for various business activities, including purchasing supplies, hiring employees or expanding operations. Generally, cannabis dispensary loans are short-term options that can range from $50,000 to $1 million. Depending on the lender’s qualifications and criteria for approval, the amount of money lent can be higher than this range. The majority of cannabis dispensary loans have repayment periods ranging from two months up to 36 months. Benefits of Expanding Your Arizona Cannabis Business Marijuana sales soared in 2021, just one year after it became legal for recreational use. Arizona is second in sales only to California. Demand for the product is huge, making it the prime time to scale your cannabis business. As an established business, you’re already a trusted name in the industry. Expanding into new markets can help you tap into new customer bases and increase your overall revenue. A Specialized Lender for Reliable Business Growth A business loan from a specialized cannabis lender gives you the opportunity to obtain the financing you need to expand your business and the assurance they know the industry inside and out. You won’t have to worry about being taken advantage of or navigating the legal red tape. These experts can guide you through the entire process and explore the various options to help you grow.

Boston Lager Remastered

YourUpdateTV

The beer that made Samuel Adams…just got better. Driven by its relentless pursuit of better beer, Samuel Adams is remastering its flagship Boston Lager to match the preferences of today’s beer lovers. Recently, Jim Koch, Founder and Brewer of Samuel Adams, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the history of Samuel Adams and what led them to remaster the classic lager. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/uB1TIHD2uh8 For nearly 40 years, Boston Lager has been the flagship beer of Samuel Adams; it represents the heartbeat of the Samuel Adams brand and helped lead the American craft beer revolution, igniting a passion for full-flavored brews. Since 1984, Samuel Adams Boston Lager has used the world’s finest hand-selected ingredients to create a perfectly balanced and complex original brew. So, why change a classic? The recipe hasn’t changed. Boston Lager Remastered still uses Koch’s great-great grandfather’s mid-19th century original recipe but has evolved the process to reduce filtration, incorporating a traditional German practice of biological acidification while dropping the roughness from the husks of the barley. The result is a brighter, easier-drinking beer that leaves a little more sparkle in every glass. Boston Lager Remastered is easier-drinking and more refreshing than ever before. Its classic complex-yet-balanced flavor profile features a backbone of caramel and toffee malt notes and a distinct noble hop character with hints of pine and citrus for a crisp finish. Samuel Adams Boston Lager has used the world’s finest hand-selected ingredients to create a perfectly balanced and complex brew – and that has never changed. To this day, Jim still tastes each batch of Boston Lager to ensure it reaches the brand’s high-quality standards. When drinkers pick up a Boston Lager, they know they’re going to rediscover the elegance of lager and experience a rich, delicious full-flavored beer. Jim Koch says there’s a perfect Boston Lager out there, Samuel Adams just hasn’t made it yet. Until then, the brand will continue chasing perfection in a glass of beer. For more information, visit samueladams.com Jim Koch, Founder & Brewer of Samuel Adams Jim Koch, founder and brewer of Samuel Adams, is passionate about brewing craft beer. As a sixth-generation brewer, beer runs in his blood but the brewing business was bleak when Jim wanted to start his brewery. He attended Harvard and earned an undergraduate degree and advanced degrees in Business and Law, taught adventure skills for Outward Bound and worked for Boston Consulting Group, counseling corporations while also learning from them. In 1984, Jim decided to pursue his dream. Following family tradition, he brewed his great-great grandfather’s lager recipe. Brewing the first batch in his kitchen, he named the beer Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Unbeknownst to Jim, Samuel Adams Boston Lager would soon become a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution and serve as the flagship brand in Boston Beer Company’s portfolio which also includes Twisted Tea, Angry Orchard and Truly. In 2019, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery joined the Boston Beer Company, reinforcing Jim and the company’s craft credentials and ongoing commitment to growing the category. Jim relentlessly focuses on brewing the best craft beer possible with an obsessive eye on quality and flavor. Looking to push the brewing envelope, he pioneered the “extreme beer” movement, challenging drinker's perception of beer with complex, barrel-aged brews like Samuel Adams Triple Bock and Utopias, a beer of great unprecedented flavor and alcohol content. Over the past 38 years, Samuel Adams has become one of America’s largest craft breweries but still only accounts for a fraction of the category. As the industry evolves, beer remains the backbone of the Boston Beer Company, and Jim continues to pour the same passion and commitment into each innovation as he does Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Jim is also the author of the National Best-Selling book, Quench Your Own Thirst: Business Lessons Learned Over a Beer or Two. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

TOCCA Life Holdings Inc makes strategic acquisition of Be Climbing Inc, a growing real estate and indoor rock climbing sports complex developer

TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc.

TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc. (OTC: TLIF ) (“TLIF” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company recently acquired Be Climbing Inc. of Winter Park, FL. Be Climbing recently announced that the Company will be opening its first world-class indoor rock climbing gym just outside downtown Orlando, FL on a 7.02 acre property it acquired in the ever expanding city of Apopka, FL. The indoor rock climbing industry is exploding with growth after the sport made its first debut in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which took place in 2021 due to the pandemic. Rock Climbing has now officially been added as an Olympic sport and will be part of the program in both the upcoming Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. By way of comparison, Top Golf launched its first location by tracking golf balls and grew to become an international sports entertainment company. Be Climbing with development of its first location is focused on drawing inspiration from the Top Golf business model with a focus on the family oriented fun and family-focused activities centered around the indoor rock climbing sport and entertainment industry. Top Golf was acquired in 2021 for $2.6 billion by Callaway which has rebranded the company under the name Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE: MODG). In much the same way that Callaway’s strategy is to make golf accessible to a broader population that might otherwise not have the time, money, or access to traditional golf; Be Climbing seeks to make the sport of rock climbing accessible to a broader audience with indoor rock climbing facilities. The sport of outdoor rock climbing became very famous to a broader audience in recent years with the release of such movies as Free Solo, The Dawn Wall and Meru. Be Climbing is well underway in the development process of the highly desirable 7 acre Apopka, FL location, having acquired the property in March 2022. The Company presently is in the site plan review and approval process with the required city and county governmental agencies. The Company’s Apopka, FL project was recently featured Central Florida’s Growth Spotter publication. Stephen Carnes, President and CEO of TLIF, stated, “I am very pleased with today’s announcement and to bring Be Climbing Inc. public through TOCCA Life’s acquisition. I launched Be Climbing Inc. as a private company in 2021 in order to lay the groundwork and get much of the long drawn out processes in place and completed prior to bringing the company public. The months ahead will be very exciting, and I am happy to now have Be Climbing public through TLIF.” Carnes continued, “Be Climbing has already raised nearly $3 million in private transactions and owns outright the 7 acre property in Apopka. The Company additionally owns, free and clear without mortgage, two locally located income producing rental properties, so the Company has both revenues and assets. We will be seeking to have the Shell Status designation removed given today’s announcement of the Be Climbing acquisition. I look forward to providing additional details about Be Climbing in the near future.” Follow TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc. on Twitter at: @Tocca_Life Safe Harbor: This Press Release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

FanDuel Named ‘Most Innovative Sportsbook’ by Sports Betting Journalists in New HPL Digital Sport Study

HPL Digital Sport

HPL Digital Sport, (HPLDS) a specialty division within Hot Paper Lantern focused on building brand, partnerships and user growth within the sports betting, sports technology and iGaming industry, today released its new study State of the Sportsbook: Media Scoreboard on Innovation. The study measures the opinions and perspective of the media who regularly write about the sports betting industry on topics like: which are the most innovative sports betting operators, the technological elements most likely to make the most impact in 2023 and which new entrants to the market can challenge current leaders in the space. To contrast the media’s opinions, HPLDS also interviewed more than a half-dozen sports betting industry consultants to obtain their views. “In a very nascent industry like sports betting, the media hold a very important position as the group that sits across the entire market, talking to every company and executive on topics ranging from technology, new products and services, pain points, wins and innovation. While many opinions and anecdotes have been shared on who leads the market, there has never been a definitive study completed to put quantitative and qualitative data behind these ideas,” said Ed Moed, CEO of HPL Digital Sport. “As thought leaders in the space, we felt it necessary to create this content but also accentuate this data with commentary and opinions from the most respected and visionary sports betting consultants in the industry. We hope this series of studies and our Media Scoreboard become the industry standard bearer for years to come.” When it comes to the most innovative operator, it’s FanDuel and everyone else In a weighted ranking, the media named FanDuel as the most innovative sports betting operator in a landslide, scoring 55 points. FanDuel more than doubled the points of the Second Place and Third Place finishers, PointsBet (24) and DraftKings (20), respectively. Rounding out the Top 5 list included BetMGM in Fourth Place with 9 points and Bet365, Caesars and Circa all tied for Fifth Place with 7 points. Among new sportsbooks joining the market, the media believe 2023 is Fanatics’ year to lose When choosing the most anticipated new entrant in the market, the media overwhelmingly chose Fanatics as the company they feel will have the biggest impact in sports betting. The potential Disney (ESPN)/DraftKings partnership came in second while Betr rounded out the top three. Subsequently, the media survey also felt Fanatics’ announcement to officially launch its sportsbook was the top story of 2022 showing a betting operator “revolutionizing the market and leading to potential change in 2023.” Fanatics’ launch beat out other top stories including the Disney (ESPN) teaser announcement of an upcoming strategic partnership with DraftKings, DraftKings integration with Amazon’s Thursday Night Football package and FanDuel’s announcement of its pullback of promotional dollars. The media prioritized User Experience and Engagement as the most important innovative practice in sports betting In an industry deep in an arms race to secure new and sustainable users, when given a list of the most innovative practices, the media found User Experience and Engagement to be the industry’s top priority, followed by: User Experience and Engagement Product Differentiation Development of Next Generation Technologies Fiscal Responsibility Brand Development Strategic Partnerships Influencer Deals In-play betting seen as the innovation most likely to gain momentum in 2023 In-play betting secured 42%, and the majority of the response, from the media as the innovation most likely to gain momentum in 2023. While in-play betting drew the most attention, other imminent innovations mentioned highlight the expanding betting ecosystem and capabilities users can begin to expect to gain traction in the near future including, the evolution of sports betting content (17%), universal wallet (8%) and the gamification of sports betting (8%). “The consultants we interviewed all agreed with the media’s assessment of the sports betting innovation landscape. However, adding to the media’s perspective, the consultants warned this is not the time for any company, new entrant or incumbent, to rest on their laurels,” said Moed. “Innovation isn’t about winning the moment but a mindset of continuous improvement. The companies and sportsbooks who will make moves on our Scoreboard in the future will undoubtedly have a deep focus on the end user experience, as well focusing on any real ways each can be unique in its own value proposition to sports bettors.” The State of the Sportsbook is the first industry study collecting the data and opinions of the sports betting media and the most influential industry consultants, as well. HPLDS was the first to capture the data behind needs, behaviors and wants of the emerging sports bettor in its flagship study, The State of the New Sports Bettor in 2020. In 2021, HPLDS was the first company to obtain data and insights from sports betting executives in its State of the Sports Betting Industry: User Expectations vs. Executive Realities study. The study was conducted between Jan. 12-23, 2023, leveraging the insights of more than two dozen top-tier business and sports betting trade reporters covering the business of the sports betting industry.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County and Comcast Partner to Open New Digital Computer Lab for Kids in Lynnwood

Comcast Washington

Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County (BGCSC) and Comcast opened a new Enhanced Lift Zone at the Alderwood Boys & Girls Club in Lynnwood last night. Comcast provided an $85,000 investment and state-of-the-art technology makeover for the space to take full advantage of the free internet connectivity already offered by the company through its Lift Zone program. The technology equipment installed in the Enhanced Lift Zone includes a 3D printer, 20 computers, webcams, TV displays to support group video lessons and more. Comcast also announced an additional $25,000 donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County for additional programing at the Grand Opening Ceremony. The contribution is part of a long partnership between the two organizations and will provide immersive tech and STEM-related activities for kids in Snohomish County. Lynnwood Mayor Christine Frizzell and Snohomish County Council Legislative Aide Josh Thompson joined the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County, Comcast, and more than 50 local families at the unveiling ceremony yesterday at the Alderwood Boys & Girls Club. According to a K12 Report Card from the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction ( OSPI ), fewer students in Washington state schools have met English, Math, and Science standards since the pandemic. Further complicating this trend is that 20 percent of fourth-grade and 10 percent of eighth-grade students in Washington do not have access to the internet and a computer at home, according to a study from the National Center for Education Statistics. "Lack of internet access in the home limits access to education, and our new Enhanced Lift Zone from Comcast can play a critical role in supporting kids to help them with their schoolwork and activities in reading, writing, math, and science," said Marci Volmer, COO – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County. "This space is part of a much larger effort with Comcast to connect students in the home through discounted service programs like Internet Essentials and outside the home with additional Lift Zones at our 12 clubs in Snohomish and Island Counties." Lift Zones and Enhanced Lift Zones are a part of Comcast's ongoing commitment to help connect students and families in need to the internet so they can fully participate in educational opportunities and the digital economy. Since 2020, Comcast has collaborated with cities, community organizations, and local nonprofit partners to install Lift Zones with free WiFi service in nearly 100 community centers across Washington state. "Connectivity in the home continues to be our top priority with Internet Essentials, and the number one solution for income-constrained households," said Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County Board Member and Comcast Pacific Northwest Region VP of Finance and Business Operations Kevin Harrison. "But it is not the only answer. Comcast also plays an important role in connecting people to the internet outside the home, and our Lift Zones and Enhanced Lift Zones seek to address that need." This effort is part of Project UP, Comcast's $1 billion commitment to reach tens of millions of people over the next 10 years with the tools, resources, and skills needed to succeed in a digital world. Project UP is Comcast's company-wide initiative to advance digital equity, which includes Internet Essentials, the nation's largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. Since 2011, Internet Essentials has connected more than 140,000 households in Washington, including nearly 14,000 households in Snohomish County, to high-speed internet at home, many for the first time. Internet Essentials' comprehensive design addresses three significant barriers to broadband adoption, including access to free digital literacy training in print, online, and in-person; the option to purchase a heavily subsidized, low-cost internet-ready computer; and low-cost, high-speed internet service for $9.95 a month, plus tax.
