California is the largest and most volatile cannabis market in the U.S. With thousands of licensed operators, rapid turnover, fluctuating wholesale prices, and heavy tax burdens, payment behavior varies widely. Running California-specific credit checks helps you understand a company’s payment history, risk level, and reliability before offering terms—protecting your business from unnecessary losses.
