Protect Your Cannabis Loans With Operational Intelligence

Request a Lender Intelligence Brief

OPS provides lenders with independent verification of operational compliance, insurance adequacy, and risk management capabilities — protecting your capital from preventable losses.

Financial Underwriting Is Only Half the Story

Cannabis borrowers can pass financial underwriting and still expose your capital to catastrophic loss through:


Operational Failures:

  • Safety incidents that shut down production
  • Equipment failures from poor maintenance
  • Product contamination from inadequate quality control

Compliance Gaps:

  • Regulatory violations that threaten licenses
  • Documentation failures that invalidate insurance claims
  • SOPs that exist on paper but aren't enforced

Insurance Inadequacies:

  • Insufficient coverage limits
  • Policy exclusions not understood
  • Lapsed or invalid certificates of insurance (COIs)

The Result? Your collateral value can evaporate overnight — even with strong financials.

OPS delivers ongoing operational intelligence to protect your portfolio.
