SHF, a fintech platform serving the banking, lending and financial services needs of the regulated cannabis and hemp industries, expanded its lending platform, which is expected to significantly broaden the financing solutions available to cannabis related businesses (CRBs) nationwide.
Building on its foundation in compliant cannabis banking and commercial real estate-backed lending, Safe Harbor now offers a wider range of financing solutions designed to meet the operational and growth needs of CRBs at every stage. New and expanded financing capabilities include: commercial real estate financing, working capital, term loans and lines of credit, equipment financing, leasehold improvements and business expansion financing, revenue-based and cash flow lending structures, accounts receivable and invoice financing, purchase order and vendor-related financing, bridge financing, sale-leaseback transactions, business acquisition and partner buyouts, and loan syndications and participations.
“Cannabis businesses operate within a financial system that was not built for them,” Terry Mendez, CEO of Safe Harbor, said. “Access to capital requires a deeper understanding of regulatory constraints, cash flow dynamics and operational realities. This expansion reflects our continued commitment to building solutions that align with how this industry actually functions. … There is no one-size-fits-all loan product in cannabis. Our job is to understand the individual business, evaluate the opportunity and help identify and tailor a viable path to capital that supports long-term success.”
