AAFCPAs Speaking at Illinois Cannabis Convention

AAFCPAs’ Cannabis Practice has been selected to present an educational workshop: Modeling Considerations When Entering a New Market at the Illinois Cannabis Convention, June 10^th-11^th, 2022, at the McCormick Place Lakeside Center, Chicago, IL.

MODELING CONSIDERATIONS WHEN ENTERING A NEW MARKET

Entering a new Cannabis market requires planning and adapting to regional nuances unlike almost any other business. Financial modeling is a crucial step to understanding what lies ahead, and operators must consider a myriad of key factors that will most impact their balance sheet. There are highly individualized markets that vary in regulation, pricing, competition, saturation, and just about every other business consideration. There are layers of compliance and regulations at the city, county, and state level that must be navigated. As you model your path into a new jurisdiction, operators must shed assumptions and dig into the local environment to understand the hurdles.

AAFCPAs’ Cannabis Practice Leaders Janice O’Reilly and Scott Posnick will provide attendees with insight into:

• Key financing considerations when entering a new market
• Challenges in forecasting operational expenses, including local energy/utility and talent nuances, which may cause delay in becoming operational and affect your burn rate

Day/Date: Saturday, June 11, 2022
