Achieve success with marijuana banking in Boston

As a major metropolis on the east coast, Boston is a thriving center for the medicinal and recreational marijuana industry. With the first legalized cannabis sales occurring in 2018, the industry has gone from strength to strength. Indeed, between November 20, 2018, and January 20, 2019, consumers purchased nearly $24 million in recreational marijuana products.

Alongside the booming recreational cannabis industry, sizable CBD and hemp sectors are also in need of marijuana and hemp banking in Boston.

Safe Harbor Financial has extensive experience supporting a burgeoning cannabis industry – being instrumental in the development of Colorado’s now-thriving cannabis industry. We’ve seen the landscape change from local dispensaries to leading giants – and we’re ready to share what we’ve learned.

We consider ourselves a part of the community, being dedicated to ensuring all cannabis-related businesses receive the same personalized advice and services. We don’t want to see cannabis companies face the same financial difficulties as those that came before, nor turn to unscrupulous organizations.

Why is marijuana banking in Boston important? +

Aside from the obvious difficulties of running and expanding a business without a checking account or access to capital investments, keeping excess cash on-site can become a target for thieves and fraudsters. You’ll need to invest in protection, staff training, and armored vans to defend your profits.

That’s not a problem when you go with us – we’ll protect your money where thieves cannot access it.
