AFN’s new M&A financing is the first of its kind for the cannabis industry with no dilution of equity for the purchaser and will help public companies and multi-state operators (MSOs) with merger and acquisition transactions. AFN Founder, Scott Jordan, is currently working on M&A transactions totaling over $80 million for cannabis companies.

“This financing is truly groundbreaking for cannabis companies and like nothing we have ever seen before in the industry,” said Scott Jordan, founder of Colorado-based Alternative Finance Network. “With the recent good news on the SAFE Banking Act, I believe will we continue to see a very active M&A market in the cannabis industry, and we look forward to helping more and more companies with this type of financing.”

AFN is currently working on a $39 million M&A financing transaction for a large public cannabis company to acquire real estate assets with 100 percent financing. Three additional active transactions AFN is arranging total $42 million.

“These examples illustrate the red-hot M&A market in the cannabis space,” says Jordan. “In my opinion, it is similar to the real estate market in 2007 when buyers were flipping properties before they were completed for a substantial profit. One example of this is the recent 4Front Ventures Corp. transaction for $55 million for a 55,000 square foot cultivation facility that is not yet operational. We have not seen anything like this in the cannabis space to date.”
