What we do

The initial step in our multi-stage process is a feasibility study to confirm that basic levels of qualification and sustainability can be met. This includes a general business overview, a state regulatory review, and geographic-specific industry best-practices overview, and a Client-specific project review and consults before initiating any future operational or financial planning. Based on HempConsultants.com analysis of the findings, we will provide recommendations for Clients:

• Feasibility of Operation
• Type of Business Formation
• Business Workflow Capabilities
• General Operations
• Labor Capacity
• Potential Site Location
• Operation Size
• Environmental Conditions
• Infrastructure Analysis
• Cultivation Regiments

All leading to the aggregate agricultural production capabilities and how to best achieve those goals.

Financial Pro-Forma and Graduated Expense Analysis

We at HempConsultants.com will provide general expense information pertaining to the hemp industry, and review the Client’s financial Pro-forma model for the purpose of forecasting and estimating start-up costs, graduated expenses, harvest revenues, ROI’s, COC analysis, etc. To appease compliance and regulation, the actual creation of the financial Pro-forma model will be the responsibility of the Client.

We at HempConsultants.com will assist in the creation of a business plan based on our specialized needs analysis of our Client, our hemp industry knowledge, traditional business regiments, and most importantly our Client’s input. We have hemp specific business plan templates that we can provide our Clients that are customizable and utilize local attorneys to provide regulated hemp industry best practices and compliance with pertinent state and/or federal regulations. When evaluating the operational components of the business plan we focus on:

• Workflow Analysis
• Labor and Temp Staffing Needs
• Equipment Procurement
• Supply Chain Management
• End-Buyer Contracts
• Overall Logistics

These valuable steps will help ensure your vision is clear and operational tasks are in order, as well as provide the physical documents needed for investor analysis. Couple this with your projected expense and income reports and you will be well equipped to solicit capital investment which is crucial as traditional banks are still difficult to impossible to obtain financing through.

For those Clients with an existing Business Plan, we offer professional review services from the perspective of not only a qualified hemp consultant and successful business developer, but also through the eyes of a potential investor as a primary reason for a business plan is to procure outside investment.
