Competition
There are approximately 28 active testing laboratories covering California’s $5 Billion cannabis market and just 20 serving Southern California. With recent regulations aimed at standardizing testing methods, the major competition is the stronger, well established labs like this business.
Growth & Expansion

With a reasonable investment in equipment and some additional staff, this lab could double its testing throughput and revenue in the existing operational footprint. As the California cannabis market rationalizes and marginal testing companies leave the space, this lab is strongly positioned to acquire those customers. There is room for growth within the complex and a buyer could duplicate the labs highly effective processes.
