You get the license. PCA gets you the store: the lease, the buildout capital, the compliance and financial infrastructure, for 10% of gross revenue. You open lean, stay independent, and keep your equity.
The Platform is built to keep you in control. You own your license, keep your brand, and run your store. PCA carries the real estate, capital, and advisory around you so you can focus on operating.
You choose the location and run your store inside it. You never carry the head lease or the property-tax burden.
You make your finish & layout selections from the PCA Spec Book. Your capital stays on your balance sheet and your P&L stays yours. Financing is a loan you repay interest-free.
You hold your license. PCA never holds or collateralizes it; you keep it, always. You sign your attestations and make the final compliance calls as the licensee of record.
Your numbers and your decisions stay yours. You're the employer of record: you hire, manage, and approve payroll + spending. We keep the books; you steer.
A single fee covers all four service categories. No separate line items, no upfront cost. When revenue is low, the fee is low: it's indexed to your performance.
The 10% is calculated on gross revenue, which excludes cannabis excise and sales taxes, payment processing fees, and discounts to customers.
You apply for and receive your New York retail dispensary license. You own it, always. PCA never holds it, never collateralizes it, never puts it at risk.
PCA identifies the site, negotiates and signs the head lease, then subleases the finished space to you. You never sign the head lease. You never carry property taxes.
You make your finish and layout selections from the PCA Spec Book. Delivered by PCA's contractor: one accountable team, on budget.
Regulatory & business, financial & business strategy, and group rates on vendors, insurance, POS, security, and banking, all live.
One fee, all four categories, no separate line items. Working capital or a loss reserve extended interest-free as needed.
no fixed up-front costs; your capital stays yours.
the fee scales with revenue, so a slow start costs you less rather than more, and the loss reserve is there to draw on if the ramp runs long.
PCA carries the lease, the property taxes, and interest-free loans secured on collateral that never includes your license. Our fee scales with revenue, so we are materially better off when your store grows.
PCA carries the lease, the property taxes, and interest-free loans on collateral that never includes your license. That's real risk on PCA's side, which is what makes the alignment real.
You can open a dispensary without PCA. Plenty do. The question isn't whether it's possible, it's what it costs you in capital, time, and risk, and what you give up in leverage.
