SLMC, a nationwide direct lender, continues to expand its reach by tailoring financing solutions to the growth plans of cultivators across the US, even as debt funding continues to dominate the market.

Backed by its $100 million debt facility, this expansion comes at a time when debt makes up 93% of capital raised by American cannabis cultivators and retailers. Cultivators account for about 35% of the US cannabis market, a share expected to surpass 40% by 2030.

Despite posting healthier balance sheets and higher creditworthiness, cannabis businesses struggle to obtain capital. Sweet Leaf Madison Capital can help clients finance equipment purchases, property acquisitions, and plant upgrades that can drive profitability.

The company's asset-based loans range from $150k to $15 million, with competitive loan-to-value (LTV) ratios up to 80% for equipment loans and 75% for real estate loans.

SLMC can build financing solutions for cultivators and processors looking to expand operations, enter new markets, or upgrade equipment and facilities. The debt financing is nondilutive and will not affect ownership stakes.

Formed in 2021 with the merger of two experienced specialty finance teams, Sweet Leaf Capital and Madison Ventures+, Sweet Leaf Madison Capital has established itself as an industry leader in cannabis business financing. The company has been recognized as a top lender in Green Market Report's Cannabis Financial Awards, acknowledging its exceptional contributions to the cannabis industry.

"This infusion of capital is a strong show of confidence in cannabis debt financing as well as in Sweet Leaf Madison Capital's abilities," said Bryan Gordon, Chairman and CEO of SLMC. "The opportunity to help businesses from "seed-to-sale" achieve their potential drives everyone at SLMC, and we look forward to working with more companies to fund their growth and the growth of the cannabis industry."
