Sweet Leaf Madison Capitol closes $100MM debt facility

DENVER –

Sweet Leaf Madison Capital (“SLMC” or “Sweet Leaf Madison”), a nationwide provider of tailored debt financing solutions in real estate, equipment and senior secured working capital for the compliant middle-market cannabis industry, today announced the closing of a new $100MM debt facility. A prominent New York-based global institutional special situations asset manager will be providing $100MM of financing, making SLMC one of the best-financed asset-based lenders to small- and medium-sized enterprises in the cannabis industry. Both parties will have an option to evaluate the progress and increase the debt facility to $200MM.

“This infusion of capital is a strong show of confidence in cannabis debt financing, as well as in Sweet Leaf Madison’s approach to working in this highly regulated and fragmented industry,” said Bryan Gordon, Chairman and CEO of SLMC. “The opportunity to help businesses from ‘seed-to-sale’ achieve their potential is what drives everyone at SLMC, and we look forward to working with more companies to fund their growth and the growth of the industry.”

Since 2016, Sweet Leaf Madison and its predecessor have been an industry leader in providing tailored lending solutions to help hundreds of cannabis businesses fund growth opportunities. This recent funding will enable SLMC to further narrow the gap between cannabis businesses and capital needs. Rather than investing in one business or one market, Sweet Leaf Madison spreads its asset-based debt financing across a wide range of cannabis businesses in all medical and adult-use states. This allows SLMC to diversify its investments and to provide non-dilutive financing to cultivators, processors, retail and ancillary cannabis businesses.

Bryant Park Capital LLC (BPC), a FINRA-registered investment bank that provides mergers and acquisitions, debt, equity, and corporate advisory services to its clients in the middle‐market, served as SLMC’s exclusive financial advisor and was integral in this transaction. BPC maintains deep and proprietary relationships across the institutional investor landscape and is very active in compliant cannabis financing.

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

(CSE: AUSA) (OTC: AUSAF) “AUSA”, “AUDACIOUS”, or the “Company), today announced the Company was awarded a provisional Cultivation license, as well as a provisional Manufacturing license in the state of New Jersey.

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
