With cannabis distribution quickly coming to the forefront of nationwide and global cannabis markets, tactical, strategic, and logistical operations is thriving. Distribution has a key role in the success of the industry and other verticals, since it relates directly to business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships. Our team provides strategic insight into distribution operations and tactical implementation to ensure that operators in all verticals are able to safely and successfully transport, store, and distribute cannabis and cannabis goods to other operators, consumers, and countries.
As the regulated cannabis industry continues to mature, manufacturing is proving to be among the most scalable vertical. With deep insight into equipment, processes, management, and regulations, our team systematically tailors operational plans and management to meet client needs and market demands. We work with prospective, new and legacy cannabis manufacturing operators that process both medical and adult use cannabis products.

SIVA offers on-site employee training led by industry experts for new, expanding and established businesses. To guarantee results, our comprehensive training programs utilize written instruction and on-the-job training. Employees are required to undergo testing at the end of each training session to confirm demonstration of measurable skills and knowledge acquired. All training is documented, and a signed statement is obtained from each employee that indicates the date, time, place of training and the focus of the training. It is recommended that employees receive 24 hours of on-going training annually.
SIVA develops security and compliance plans that meet and exceed regulatory requirements. These plans have been developed through years of experience in regulated cannabis markets throughout the country. Each plan is specifically tailored to your businesses size, operations and regulatory requirements.
SIVA Consulting is here to help you develop comprehensive operations manuals for cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, testing and dispensing. These manuals are created by our team of industry professionals and are tailored to meet your business’ needs while incorporating proven best practices that have been implemented in existing markets. This allows your company to utilize best practices to increase efficiency, profitability and sustainability. Our team of experts will walk you through each procedure step-by-step and develop customized operations manuals that fit your specific business.
Our business plans have two primary purposes. First, to be used to help you run your company with a clear and cohesive road map by analyzing your plan from concept to implementation — and second, to provide crystal clear intentions and communication to all necessary compliance and regulatory agencies.
Our highly detailed business plans are utilized for operational purposes, to attract new management and staff, to demonstrate to investors how the company plans to make profits, and to communicate with licensing or regulatory agencies about how the company intends to remain in compliance with industry rules and regulations.
The accurate development of financial models and projections requires an in-depth understanding and analysis of key assumptions that fuel the cannabis industry. We construct a financial representation of some or all aspects of every project we develop. These models can help summarize particular events for your business, such as investment management returns or the Sortino ratio (measuring the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio or strategy) and provides essential information for making strategic decisions.
Financial models are a critical aspect of your business plan and a crucial component of local and state cannabis applications. SIVA Consulting builds financial models to help you make informed, strategic decisions before committing funds to any project.
The process of acquiring state and local licenses can be complex and difficult to maneuver if you are not familiar with local and state regulations and guidelines.

We are frequent speakers at industry conferences and forums, and serve as expert resources for industry publications and policy makers. We actively network and review active and pending rules and regulations with clients, partners and investors across the U.S. As a result, SIVA Consulting has one of the highest success rates nationwide in state licensing.
