Trade credit is a strong alternative to expensive, high-risk loans, as long as cannabis companies are able to make strong credit decisions when extending terms to their customers.

The CCA is the industry’s first and leading association to assist cannabis companies in making better cannabis credit decisions.

Our Debtor Database, a proprietary and searchable list of flagged debtors, is just the first of many groundbreaking services we hope to offer our members.  

Transforming the Cannabis Industry for all related businesses by creating a community built on transparency and trust! And we’re just getting started….

Our Path To Transformation

THE DREAM — We envision a platform where members can not only interact with each other, educate themselves, show off their good standing, and access our debtor database but can run comprehensive cost efficient industry specific credit reports to help them make smarter business decisions.

THE ASK — We’ll be requiring all members to share monthly anonymous accounts receivable data with the CCA. With transparent reporting, we are all working together to help move this industry forward.

THE DATA — CCA is working towards the aggregation of member accounts receivable data and proprietary collection agency data. Additional data points from major credit bureaus and public data (ex. liens, lawsuits) will also be considered.

THE FUTURE — In the future, members will get access to the most comprehensive, cost-effective, trusted, and industry-specific credit reporting to get the full picture of creditworthiness
