4 Essential Considerations Before Launching Your CBD Business

It’s incredible how CBD keeps growing year after year, from infusing it with chocolate to dog treats and beyond. It’s not hard to see why; there are so many benefits, from helping with migraines to even general anxiety. Thanks to all of these benefits, there’s been more innovation in this industry (hence the dog treats example), and this alone is making more of a boom, with more businesses growing. 

But do you find yourself having a great idea on how to either incorporate CBD into something or maybe just want to open up your own CBD shop? Well, like all businesses, there are going to be some barriers to entry; you can’t just open up a business and expect the money to pour. In fact, like all businesses, there are things you really need to sit and think about because, again, it takes so much time, money, and energy to get a business started. 

That said, even within the CBD industry, there are some things that really need to be considered. Here are some essential considerations you really need to think about.

Understand the Legal Landscape

You really have to keep in mind that there’s the legal aspect to this; sure, all businesses have this, but since this is seen as more high-risk, the legality is a bit more complex. So, that’s why it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the complex legal regulations governing the production, distribution, and sale of CBD products. Honestly, research into this alone might be challenging because the regulations vary so heavily not only from country to country but also from region to locality. For example, in the United States, the legal status of CBD remains a complex issue, with regulations set by both federal and state authorities, but it can still vary from state to state.

Building relationships can be challenging in the CBD industry but not impossible

Building Relationships Can Be Challenging 

So CBD, depending on where you’re at, is still considered “high risk” or controversial, so you might struggle a bit with building relationships with payment processors, suppliers, retailers, and maybe even the location of your business (if you’re going this in a physical location). Thankfully, nowadays, you can get a CBD merchant account here, so that makes things a bit easier, but regardless, you’ll still need to navigate building up some relationships. Again, all of this can be fairly challenging! 

Regulations May Always Change

Again, this is going to depend on your location. But like all businesses (regardless of industry), compliance with regulatory requirements is non-negotiable in the CBD industry. This is one of those high-risk businesses, at least at this time. So that’s why you really need to stay informed about changes to regulations and ensure that your business operations, labeling, and marketing practices comply with all applicable laws and guidelines. Seriously, the last thing you want to do is make any mistakes, regardless of how small they are, that could risk the downfall of your business.

The Quality of Your CBD is Everything

You can’t just pick the cheapest supplier that can provide you with the most supply for the lowest cost. Like all businesses, you’re just begging to fail if you make that mistake. Low cost tends to mean low quality. If you want to separate yourself, then you have to ensure you’re selling high quality—the best quality out there! 

Basically, you want to ensure that you source CBD from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality control standards and, better yet, even provide third-party lab testing to verify the potency and purity of their products. This isn’t some get-rich-quick-scheme of a business; the quality does matter!

I failed my annual mammogram. I was scheduled for I failed my annual mammogram. I was scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound to potentially look for breast cancer…and boy did this cause some scanxiety!Good news! There’s no lumps, bumps, cysts, tumors, etc. my tests are normal.So why did I flunk my first mammogram? It could have been a glitch. Or…Hormones can cause breast tissue to be slightly different from week to week or scan to scan, which is why they suggest not doing your scan the week before your period (which is when I got scanned). It can be hard for women to avoid that week though when appointments are often made months in advance.Either way, I’ll be back next year for my 3rd mammogram. I hope you’ll remember to schedule yours.#breastcancer #mammogram #annualmammogram #scanxiety #perimenopausehealth #womenover40
