I found distributors and brands that are willing to ship to my B2B customers. I just handle the marketing and sales. But compliance and due diligence is not clear as customers will be ordering through my site. Do I need to do additional supplier verification? Where can I find the regulations on how each package needs to be shipped so I can request that from the supplier? Ex. Does each strain need to come with COA? Even if it’s a B2B wholesale order?

I’m leaning towards thca online business( wholesale annd my own brand ) and want to cover all my edges . What I’m asking is how do I start it? I have a supplier, from my understanding I only need a seller permit and LLC , which I have . I have a commercial manufacturer for all legit packaging…. What do you suggest I need to add to the team ?

The strength of your cannabis brand depends heavily on the suppliers you work with. Reliable partners not only ensure consistent quality but also keep you compliant, two factors that directly impact customer trust and long-term growth. Here’s what to focus on when picking your suppliers: 1. Compliance - Work only with licensed suppliers who follow state and federal regulations. - Verify chain-of-custody paperwork and testing protocols. - For hemp-derived THCA, confirm pre-harvest delta-9 THC levels remain under 0.3%. 2. Quality Consistency - Request samples plus third-party lab reports for potency, contaminants, and stability. - Remember: THCA naturally degrades into THC over time, ongoing testing matters. 3. Reliability - Check references and industry forums to confirm their credibility. - Avoid suppliers known for delayed orders or poor communication. 4. Flexibility & Growth Potential - Look for suppliers  offering small-batch orders, white-labeling, or custom formulations. - Local growers and manufacturers often provide better pricing and faster turnaround than larger corporations. 5. Contracts & Negotiation - Negotiate bulk discounts and payment terms. - Secure agreements that define liability and quality standards. Strong supplier relationships aren’t just one time transactions, this will create your network of key players in the industry that will help you scale and grow.
