As well as providing direction The Viridity Group also helps your team to prepare monthly and annual sales projections, looking at future qualifications and estimates to create a comprehensive forecast for the business as a whole and individual products.

The Viridity Group creates organizational charts which outline the internal structure of your cannabis business.  With these charts we are able to create a clear visual depiction of the hierarchy and ranks of different people, jobs, and departments that you will need to make your business a success. With this knowledge you will get a clear understanding of what jobs you require, the number of personnel needed, and where you need to add staff.

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) performs routine inspections of the licensed marijuana establishments in the state.

CCC Investigators visit cannabis business and facilities and complete regulatory compliance audits and assist with the registration and licensing compliance process for the facilities, Its investigators ensure that retail locations, product manufacturers and cultivation centers  have an “understanding of and compliance with laws, rules and regulations.”

The Viridity Group has a clear understanding of what these regulations are and what the audits entail. We help business to remain compliant in all aspects of the business and to prepare for the audits. 

Having a close working relationship with the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) we are able to help you define your best course of action to abide by their ever evolving and intricate cannabis regulations. This includes identifying the percentages of positions in your business which need to be allocated to people from specific communities and how to stay compliant with diversity hiring.

We also provide guidance and planning services on how to establish a plan to positively affect areas of disproportionate impact and adhere to the CCCs requirements for this.
