Cannabis industry lending and financing solutions firm FundCanna announced this week that the company has approximately $75 million in equity, with $35 million immediately available, after securing a $60 million credit line from an institutional investment firm.
FundCanna’s new partner manages about $40 billion in assets, the company said in a press release.
“I’ve been lending to businesses for over 20 years, and cannabis has proven to be a stronger credit market than many expect. But it’s also one of the hardest markets to get right. The data is fragmented, the laws are inconsistent, and most lenders underestimate how diverse the cannabis industry can be. We’ve spent five thousand years building a space. That’s not easily replicated, and it’s a major reason that institutional capital has chosen to partner with FundCanna.” — Adam Stettner, founder and CEO of FundCanna, in a statement
Some of the capital will go toward scaling the company’s ReadyPaid service, a loan program that helps wholesalers get paid in advance while bulk buyers can get extended terms.
FundCanna says it has distributed more than $250 million in more than 5,000 transactions and is approaching $100 million in annual lending.
