5 Tips for Preparing Your Ontario Cannabis Business Plan Ever since cannabis was legalized in Canada in late 2018, there has been a rush of interest in forming a cannabis business. Like any business, the best way to validate your business idea is to sit down and write your Cannabis Business Plan. Also, like other businesses, you can have a cannabis business anywhere within the country. However, some provinces are more appealing to locate your business in than others and Ontario is one of the most attractive options. There are many things you can do to ensure your Ontario business plan for your cannabis business is solid. · · Do Your Market Research The reason this article is written specifically with an emphasis on an Ontario Business Plan is because of the openness that still exists in the Ontario market as opposed to other provinces.

When beginning your cannabis business plan, you should begin with market research to determine where you will open as that impact many other aspects of your plan. · · Find Your Point of Differentiation
Right now, cannabis business plans are extremely popular, whether it’s an Ontario business plan or intended for any other province.

It is going to be necessary to stand out from all the competition to have the best chance of success. Make sure it is truly distinct and thoroughly tied into your business concept and business plan. · · Be Conservative with Your Financial Assumptions In such a green market – no pun intended - it is going to be difficult to extract meaningful statistics, facts and figures. The cannabis market in some provinces was just beginning to settle into its normal but, in places like Ontario it was barely getting started and let’s not forget about disruptions due to the pandemic. In order to ensure success and show you are exhibiting caution and aware that the market is still unstable, be conservative with your financials projections. · · Keep Legality Top of Mind Although cannabis was legalized, that doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. There are still a great deal of rules and regulations around the cannabis business which need to be incorporated into your Ontario Cannabis Business Plan. If you do not research the legality issues thoroughly, you could quickly find yourself in a bad situation. Aside from market research, this is some of the most important research you will do when planning your business. · · Don’t Overthink It While there are many aspects of a Cannabis Business Plan that need careful consideration, at the end of the day, it is just a business. As such, your Ontario Business Plan is just that. A business plan for your business in Ontario. Regardless what that business concept is, you should still approach it in an organized, systematic, logical way that ensure you are doing your full due diligence. That is exactly what writing your cannabis business plan will force you to do.
