Industries we do not service
We do not provide formation or compliance services for cannabis, adult-entertainment, or firearms businesses. We also do not work with businesses in industries where formation requires specialized regulatory expertise beyond what our team carries (gaming, money services / MSBs, etc.). For those situations, work with an industry-specialized provider from the start.
