CTrust was founded in 2022 to address the lack of transparency and standardization in cannabis risk assessment. With capital for equity dwindling, cannabis businesses have turned to debt financing, yet the absence of an objective credit standard makes it difficult for lenders to confidently extend credit to deserving companies. We introduced our credit rating solution to be that benchmark, empowering financial institutions to better understand cannabis credit risk and unlock billions in capital for the right businesses. And we are enabling secondary market liquidity for cannabis debt by building the credit infrastructure that connects financial institutions and lenders with institutional debt buyers.
