Cannabis
The growth potential for the cannabis sector is becoming clearer now that restrictions on recreational use relax and the medicinal properties of cannabidiol (CBD) are finally acknowledged. The sector offers significant potential growth opportunities to companies and investors committed to navigating a shifting business environment, developing a sound strategy and efficient operations as legislation varies from country to country, and establishing rigorous regulatory compliance processes.
Since the UK legalised medicinal cannabis, the sector has become more attractive for raising investment on London’s capital markets and there is strong interest from investors. As the UK markets gain comfort over the legitimacy of cannabis there are great possibilities for companies and investors alike.
We will support you if you are an emerging cannabis company looking to raise capital on the London Markets. As the 5th largest auditor of listed businesses in the UK, we can understand the detailed reporting requirements and governance required.
Our team has the industry insight and technical expertise to support you, and we will help you comply with changing regulations, provide transparency to investors, and develop the business strategy.
With offices around the world and involvement in the emerging cannabis business since the earliest days, our global network, PKF Global, is uniquely placed to advise investors in this exciting global industry. Working with businesses around the world to broker relationships and assess new opportunities, PKF will facilitate your journey into the world of cannabis investment.
