Background Investigations for Cannabis Businesses

Background investigations are a critical element of the cannabis industry, as they’re so often required by regulating agencies. For example, the State of Michigan performs an extensive, deep background investigation on every license applicant for a cannabis business. It’s important to know that many minor prior issues are irrelevant to the licensing process if disclosed correctly in the application. If left undisclosed, however, those unmentioned facts can provide the basis to deny it.

Additionally, the law requires a background investigation of every employee of the licensee. The law prohibits hiring employees with certain prior or pending legal matters without regulatory approval.

At Cendrowski Corporate Advisors, our dedicated team of investigators will scour relevant histories to identify potential items for disclosure in the application process. We can also provide pre-employment background screenings. As with all of our services, the results of our background investigations processes are strictly confidential.
