  • Welcome to Cannabis Insider! We're bringing you the latest news and updates from the cannabis industry, as well as exclusive interviews with top executives and industry leaders!

    Takeaways:

    -ESOPs offer a way for cannabis companies to navigate tax challenges, such as Section 280E, by allowing them to pay zero federal and state taxes.

    -ESOPs provide significant cash flow advantages for cannabis companies, as they can allocate the money that would have been paid in taxes to other areas of the business.

    -ESOPs benefit employees by increasing job security, incentivizing them to stay with the company, and providing opportunities for wealth accumulation.

    -The adoption of ESOPs in the cannabis industry is still relatively low due to a lack of awareness and misconceptions about their complexity and applicability.
