Pre-Licensed & Applicants
We supportentrepreneurs and teams preparing to enter regulated cannabis markets need compliance built into their operations before licensure is granted. ICS Consulting supports applicants with regulatory interpretation, SOP development, facility and operational planning, and pre-operational readiness to help avoid delays, deficiencies, and costly rework during the licensing process.
Licensed Cannabis Operators
We support licensed medical and adult-use cannabis operators across cultivation, manufacturing, dispensaries, processing, distribution, transportation, hospitality, and consumption licenses. ICS Consulting provides launching services and ongoing compliance support, audits, gap assessments, OSHA compliance, and operational improvements designed to protect licenses, reduce enforcement risk, and strengthen day-to-day operations.
Multi-State Operators (MSOs)
We support operators as their cannabis company expands across state lines, and compliance becomes increasingly complex. ICS Consulting helps MSOs standardize compliance programs, align SOPs across facilities, and adapt to state-specific regulatory requirements, ensuring consistency, scalability, and risk mitigation across all markets.

Social Equity & Microbusinesses
Operators entering the regulated cannabis market through social equity or microbusiness programs often face limited resources, complex regulations, and heightened oversight. ICS Consulting provides clear, practical compliance support designed to help these businesses build strong operational foundations, meet regulatory expectations, and grow sustainably—without unnecessary complexity or one-size-fits-all solutions.
New & Emerging Markets
Entering newly regulated states presents unique challenges, including evolving rules, unclear guidance, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. ICS Consulting supports operators in emerging markets by helping them interpret regulations, build compliant operational programs, and prepare for inspections and enforcement from day one.
Established Operations Needing a Reset
Even experienced operators can encounter compliance breakdowns, enforcement actions, recalls, or internal process gaps. ICS Consulting works with established businesses to identify deficiencies, implement corrective actions, strengthen internal controls, and restore regulatory confidence.
