Cannabis Accounting, Tax Strategy, and Growth, Solved with One Move
If you’re generating $10M+ in annual revenue, you’re not looking for generic advice — you’re looking for leverage. And yet, most cannabis operators at your level are stuck navigating the same old playbook:
- Bleeding millions in federal income taxes
- Juggling accountants, consultants, and compliance officers
- Preparing for growth or exit with no tax-efficient path forward
At MBO Ventures, we offer a single strategy that solves all three: an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
It’s not a loophole — it’s a fully legal, IRS-recognized ownership model that eliminates federal income tax liability for qualifying companies, while simplifying operations and unlocking long-term enterprise value.
You’ve Built the Business, Now Keep More of It
You didn’t build a $10M company to spend 30–40% of your earnings on taxes every year.
An ESOP allows you to legally defer or eliminate federal income taxes while positioning your company for scale, liquidity, or succession — all without selling out or giving up control. And because the structure follows best-in-class standards for CPG businesses, it naturally leads to tighter financials and simpler accounting.
This isn’t a workaround. It’s a structure — and it’s working right now for cannabis operators across the U.S.
This Isn’t About Consulting, It’s About Ownership Strategy
We don’t sell hourly advice. We help cannabis founders restructure their companies from the inside out — with real outcomes:
- Zero federal tax burden
- Audit-ready accounting and compliance
- A flexible exit or succession plan on your terms
If you’re tired of treating symptoms and ready to solve the root problem, you’re exactly who we work with.
