Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

Dispensaries & Retail operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Cash Management Risk
Limited banking access forces dispensaries to operate as cash-intensive businesses — creating significant theft, robbery, and employee dishonesty exposure.
02
Product Liability Claims
Contaminated, mislabeled, or defective cannabis products can result in significant product liability claims and regulatory action.
03
Inventory Theft
High-value cannabis inventory is a prime target for theft — both external and by employees.
04
Regulatory & License Risk
License violations and compliance failures can result in business interruption and significant financial loss.
05
Premises Liability
Customer injuries on dispensary premises create significant general liability exposure.
06
Data Breach
Dispensary POS systems and customer databases are attractive targets for cybercriminals.
