Frequently Asked Questions
Why insure master growers as key persons?
Master growers develop proprietary cultivation techniques and strain genetics that directly impact product quality and yield. Their expertise can take years to develop, and their loss could significantly affect production capacity and product consistency.
How should cultivation partnerships structure buy-sell agreements?
Partners should have cross-purchase or entity-purchase buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance. Given high cannabis license values, adequate coverage ensures surviving partners can buy out a deceased partner's share without disrupting operations or risking license status.
