CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | July 6 - July 12, 2024

##### Published on July 17, 2024

### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth

#### Active business licenses ended their weeks-long slump by adding 87 the week of July 6 for a total 51,318. Approved/Pending licenses were also up by 50, while pre-licenses fell by 33. Tier 1A cannabis-related businesses gained 88.

#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts

Weekly Summary: 83,494 1A CRBs + 4,044 1B CRBs = 87,538 total

### 1A CRBs

*![1A CRB-071524](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1A%20CRB-071524.png?width=468&height=281&name=1A%20CRB-071524.png)  
Tier 1A defined: Businesses in this tier literally touch the cannabis plant at some point along the supply chain from "seed to sale," and are generally licensed by a government agency or regulator. Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis. *

### 1B CRBs 

*![1B CRB-071524](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20CRB-071524.png?width=468&height=280&name=1B%20CRB-071524.png)  
Tier 1B defined: Businesses that have a financial or controlling interest in a Tier 1A CRB. CRB Monitor generally considers 1B businesses as seemingly unrelated businesses highlighted as red flags by FinCEN in its marijuana banking guidance and are similar in nature to individual beneficial owners. *

### Cannabis Business Licenses

*![CBL-071524](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CBL-071524.png?width=468&height=305&name=CBL-071524.png)
