CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | October 12 - October 18, 2024

##### Published on October 23, 2024

### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth

#### Beneficial owners in the cannabis industry jumped another 228 from the previous week as Tier 1A cannabis-related businesses increased by 81. However, active business licenses fell by 15. Still, there's a 1.2% increase in active licenses compared to the previous quarter.

#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts

Weekly Summary: 86,040 1A CRBs + 4,294 1B CRBs = 90,334 total

### 1A CRBs

*![1A CRB-102224](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1A%20CRB-102224.png?width=468&height=281&name=1A%20CRB-102224.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-102224](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20CRB-102224.png?width=468&height=279&name=1B%20CRB-102224.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
