CRB Monitor | Weekly Update | September 7 - September 13, 2024

##### Published on September 18, 2024

### CRB Monitor Database: Charting Growth

#### After being mostly stagnant a quarter ago, Tier 1B cannabis-related businesses have seen a steady rise in recent weeks. This week, there was a jump of 99 businesses compared to the previous week. Tier 1B businesses have grown 6.3% since the previous quarter and 12.2% since last year. Active licensed businesses began to climb this week as approved/pending licenses dropped.

#### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts

Weekly Summary: 84,319 1A CRBs + 4,268 1B CRBs = 88,557 total

### 1A CRBs

*![1A MRB-091624](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1A%20MRB-091624.png?width=468&height=281&name=1A%20MRB-091624.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 MRB-091624](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20MRB-091624.png?width=468&height=279&name=1B%20MRB-091624.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-091624](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CBL-091624.png?width=468&height=305&name=CBL-091624.png)  
Note: Inactive licenses, unlicensed, and unknown licenses have been excluded.*

### Beneficial Owners Count

Beneficial owners defined: For beneficial owners, each economic owner or controlling person is classified into one or more categories based on their relationship to the linked CRB including: (1) Owner/Investor, (2) Board Member, (3) Corporate Officer, (4) Executive, (5) Non-commercial Registered Agent or (6) Senior Manager.
