Why Cannabis Businesses Overpay for Insurance

Cannabis operators face a triple threat:

  • Premiums keep rising — Insurers don't trust the industry and price accordingly
  • Claims get denied — Documentation gaps leave you exposed when you need coverage most
  • Compliance is chaotic — Generic QMS tools record activity but don't enforce real safeguards

The result? You're paying premium prices for incomplete protection.

OPS changes that equation.

How OPS Turns Compliance Into Insurance Savings

The Operational Preparedness System (OPS) is a cannabis-specific risk program that:

The Operational Preparedness System (OPS) is a cannabis-specific risk program that:

✓ Identifies insurance opportunities through comprehensive risk assessment
✓ Implements enforceable safeguards that insurers recognize and reward
✓ Verifies premium reductions through direct coordination with carriers
✓ Maintains ongoing compliance to protect your savings year after year


The OPS Process (3-Step Overview):

  1. ASSESS — We identify risk gaps and insurance opportunities through facility walkthroughs and documentation review
  2. IMPLEMENT — We build enforceable systems that satisfy insurers, regulators, and auditors
  3. SAVE — You receive verified premium reductions plus ongoing risk management support

The Industry's First Fractional Risk Officer

Most cannabis companies have fractional CFOs. But who holds the risk and quality leadership role?

That's what Red Wolf Risk was built to solve.


Founded by Alex Hearding after 15 years building and operating licensed cannabis facilities, Red Wolf exists because the industry needed someone who could speak three languages fluently: operations, insurance, and regulation.


OPS is the result of that intersection , a program that makes compliance enforceable, makes insurance negotiable, and makes risk measurable.


Core Values:

  • Resourcefulness — Practical solutions to complex problems
  • Integrity — Do what's right, not what's easy
  • Stewardship — Long-term safety and sustainable value
  • Kindness — Partnership built on respect
