Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis.* ### 1B MRBs  *![1BMRB-2](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1BMRB-2.png?width=468&height=256&name=1BMRB-2.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. * ### Marijuana Business Licenses *![MBL-1](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MBL-1.png?width=468&height=329&name=MBL-1.png) Note: Inactive licenses, unlicensed, and unknown licenses have
