Problem
Financial institutions lack standardized, industry‑specific credit risk data for cannabis businesses, making it difficult to assess loan exposure, price risk, and meet regulatory due‑diligence requirements.
Solution
CTrust offers a SaaS platform that delivers proprietary credit risk ratings, loan‑pool analytics, and ongoing surveillance tailored to the cannabis sector. The platform combines traditional financial metrics with cannabis‑specific factors such as regulatory compliance, market dynamics, and operational risk to generate standardized scores. These scores support underwriting, pricing, and secondary‑market preparation for loan originations. Continuous monitoring tools keep risk assessments up to date as borrowers’ compliance and market conditions evolve. By providing a consistent credit framework, CTrust enables institutional debt buyers and lenders to extend capital to cannabis operators with greater confidence and regulatory alignment.
