Starting a CBD Business: How To Enter the Industry

September 24, 2022

The CBD industry is growing every day with new products and innovations. Here’s how you can enter the industry and start your own CBD business.

The legalization of CBD has opened a door for people to educate themselves and enter the industry. Cannabidiol (CBD) has recently become more popular in mainstream retailers and households. The CBD business has never-ending possibilities and ventures, from growing the flower to making CBD hand lotion.

Although CBD is popular, you should be cautious before investing in the business. If you’re planning to enter the CBD industry, learning more about it is wise to prepare yourself to start your business. Keep reading to know how to begin your CBD business.

Find Your Niche in the Industry

As stated before, the CBD industry has blossomed and taken over the wellness industry. You can produce CBD anything these days, from hemp clothing to pet chews. Consumer interest is high, and entrepreneurs are finding innovative ways to use CBD.

Before you officially enter the industry, you should find your niche. Popular ventures include:

  • Infused foods and drinks
  • CBD pet products
  • CBD cosmetics
  • Wellness products

If you’re thinking about harvesting your plants, it’s wise to understand how to do so by following professional harvesting guidelines. Before stepping into the CBD industry, you should know the growing process and the science behind it.

Understand the Regulations and Laws About CBD

This industry has very strict laws and regulations. To venture into the CBD business, you must know the laws and regulations to avoid legal consequences. In 2018, The US government passed the Hemp Farm Bill, making the sale and use of hemp-based products legal in all 50 states. So you can sell products that have 0.3 percent or less THC.

CBD comes from marijuana plants, which are legal in 15 states for recreational use and 36 states for medical use only. Check your local regulations for permits and other laws you must follow.

Create a Detailed Business Plan

With any business, you shouldn’t jump into it without a solid plan. When it comes to the CBD industry, your business plan is also your golden ticket for permits and staying in the know about regulatory policies and new opportunities. Within your business plan, you should have:

  • A detailed market analysis
  • Your brand name and products
  • Your financing plan
  • A marketing plan and projected sales

Find a Trustworthy CBD Supplier

Unless you’re growing the product yourself, one of the most important steps to venturing into the CBD industry is finding a trustworthy supplier. If you’re selling your products nationwide, you must ensure that you’re selling federally approved CBD products derived from hemp plants.

You want to ensure that you’re also selling high-quality products because that will impact your customers’ satisfaction and the chance that they’ll return.

Market and Sell Your Products

Once you’ve gone through the steps of building your business and emerging into the industry, you’re ready to go! While CBD is popular, you still need to gain customers with a solid marketing plan. You should focus on creating engaging media content and creative graphics. If you have a storefront, host special events to help attract new customers!
