Some local governments require businesses with physical locations to get a mercantile license. Each town or city will have its own application process for the mercantile license.

An annual license applicant is ready to manufacture, cultivate or sell cannabis. Your application will need to include information on your business location, local zoning approval, and a summary of your operations.

To start your cannabis application prior to opening a site, you may apply for a conditional license that gives you 120 days to find a location, get municipal approval, and apply for a conversion license (which will give your business approval to operate).

If you have a Conditional License, you need to obtain a Conversion License. A Conditional License limits the activities your business can do. It may take ~90 days for your application to be reviewed.
