When to use (and when not to use) a consultant

Sometimes you need help. Sometimes you don’t. And you should always steer clear of snake oil salesmen.

We’ve been in the cannabis space for a long time. Consultants come and go with alarming regularity, but we decided to launch Square Deal because of our love for the plant, a deep sense of dedication in helping others, and cutting through the BS so often seen with other consultancies who just want a quick book.

While we always advocate having a second set of eyes, not everyone needs a consultant and not every situation requires one.

You may not need a consultant if:

• You have a diverse team of experts at your disposal already to address legal, business, compliance, and operational needs.

• You aren’t seeking granular insight but instead are looking for more general information, such as “what is cannabis” or “how to run a business.”

You may need a consultant if:

• You want client specific information on how to improve your business operations or prospects.

• You need help with a specific aspect of business operations.

Luckily, we’re here to help. Be sure to reach out to Square Deal today to see what all we can do for you.
