FAQ’s

number one

How do I get licensed for a cannabis business in Oklahoma?

Currently, Oklahoma has very few restrictions on who can apply for an adult use business license. Almost any Oklahoma resident over the age of 25 can get a cannabis business license in the state. There are 3 types of main cannabis business licenses (Grower, Processor, Dispensary). There is also a transportation license that can be added to any of these license types.

The nonrefundable state license application fee for all license types is $2,500. Licenses will not be approved prior to securing a building, appropriate security, and other measures. In order to get all of those things in place, you’re going to need financing.

Number two

Can I borrow from a bank in Oklahoma?

It’s highly unlikely that your cannabis business will be able to borrow money from a bank in Oklahoma. While the sale of cannabis may be legal at the state level in Oklahoma, the substance is still classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the FDA, making it illegal on the federal level. That means that most financial institutions, including banks, credit unions, and credit card companies, can’t work with you on either lending or banking services.

That’s where Bespoke Financial comes in

number three

How can I obtain financing for my cannabis business in Oklahoma ?

The first option would be with us at Bespoke!

Beyond that, the options are slim. You can try your luck with a hard money lender or try to find an investor. Even if you find an investor that you work well with, you’ll still be required to give up a chunk of valuable equity.

Commercial lenders like Bespoke Financial can help you obtain cannabis business financing in Oklahoma. Bespoke Financial was the first commercial lender working exclusively with cannabis businesses, so you’ll never have to worry about whether or not your loan and your business are in compliance with state and federal regulations surrounding your money.

Number four

What should I watch out for when it comes to financing in Oklahoma?

Because cannabis businesses don’t have a lot of options when it comes to obtaining financing, many predatory lenders have unfortunately seized on the opportunity. Some cannabis business owners report being charged interest rates of 40 to 50 percent on their loans, while others regularly receive emails attempting to persuade them that the company will allow the business to utilize credit card sales.

This is the exact opposite experience from what you will experience with Bespoke Financial.

To get the best rate for your cannabis business loan in Oklahoma, make sure to have all of the appropriate documentation prepared prior to applying for a loan from Bespoke, including your financial records (balance sheets, income statements, and bank statements), your credit risk profile, and capital needs.

number Five

What do I need to know about running my business in Oklahoma?

Besides the difficulties in obtaining financing when running a cannabis business in Oklahoma , one thing to keep in mind is that your customers will not be able to use credit or debit cards to pay for your products due to the federal regulations applied to banks regarding handling funds connected to cannabis. Your customers will need to pay in cash or use one of the other emerging options, such as paying through phone apps designed for this purpose, so it’s important to make sure that you provide your customers with a way to get cash if they arrive unprepared, such as by installing an ATM. Additionally, cannabis businesses must be prepared to securely handle, transport, and store large amounts of cash since most financial institutions will not accept cash deposits.
