Marijuana industry finance company Safe Harbor Financial is lending beyond its home state of Colorado, handing a $5 million loan to Massachusetts-based Solar Cannabis.
Solar will use the senior secured loan to “continue expanding our business in Massachusetts,” CEO Edward Dow said in a news release issued Tuesday.
Safe Harbor did not disclose the terms of the loan but said it was the first issued by the company in a state other than Colorado.
“We are excited to provide this extension of credit to Solar Cannabis,” said Paul Penney, Safe Harbor’s chief investment officer, in a statement.
“We believe, based on our due diligence process, the company has opportunities for continued growth.”
