This week, Scott Jordan, founder of Alternative Finance Network, joins the Cannabis Equipment News podcast.
Jordan has been a trendsetter most of his life and he founded the Alternative Finance Network in 2019 to serve as a one-stop cannabis-financing stop for operators. He saw an opportunity in an industry that was being treated unfairly—higher tax burdens, fewer financial breaks, 280E etc. He wanted to help minimize, or even eradicate, the penalties that marijuana businesses paid to serve patients that needed medicine.
Despite the perpetual ups and downs the industry faces, Jordan continues to be optimistic on the market, and has access to capital for operators looking to invest in equipment and real estate or use as working capital. Jordan hopes President Donald Trump will soon follow through on relief for the cannabis industry, like help with 280E. He says the president has the ability to make a very positive impact on the industry. "We're one executive order away," Jordan says.
