Marc Rodriguez is the co-founder and CEO of Green Leaf Payroll & Business Solutions. He says cannabis companies are going through two phases right now: they're either in survival mode, or thriving.
For the operators that are thriving, Green Leaf offers the ability to outsource key business functions, namely payroll and HR. Companies can outsource small parts of their business or entire departments.
Clients use Green Leaf's services to limit exposure to overhead, which can also be crucial for businesses that are scraping by. Rodriguez says he can help operators limit their biggest costs using technology and automation. The savings are important, especially when 75% of cannabis companies are losing money, he adds.
Green Leaf also made big news in November when the company launched the first fully transparent cannabis 401(k) program the industry has ever seen.
