Insuring cannabis clinical trials – a how to guide
Risk goes hand-in-hand with growth potential. Cannabis operations, including cannabis clinical trials, require specialized coverage. And because the cannabis industry is so new and products are subject to specific regulations, insuring a clinical trial requires expert guidance. Not every insurance company is open to cannabis exposures and even the ones that are are concerned about:
- High potential for fire and inventory spoilage
- Misinterpretation of Canadian cannabis laws and regulations
- Costly inventory and high exposure to business interruption risks and more…
This is why talking to an insurance broker who specifically understands the Canadian cannabis insurance market is so important. ALIGNED brokers know how to place cannabis risks and are experts in navigating coverage options in today’s marketplace.
