Equity and MSO stock consideration
Federal and state law current as of September 2026 — verify with counsel.
Key takeaways
- As of September 2026, medical marijuana is Schedule III; adult-use remains Schedule I (Federal Register 2026-08176 and pending hearing).
- 280E still hits adult-use SG&A; medical books may take ordinary deductions — apportion dual licenses.
- SBA loans are unavailable for plant-touching targets (SOP 50 10 8).
- Deals close on regulatory approval; control does not move early.
- Single-store commentary multiples of about 3x–6x EBITDA are trade ranges, not appraisals (2025–2026 commentary).
Equity and MSO stock consideration is a capital-stack problem in a market where SBA SOP 50 10 8 closed the ordinary door. Seller paper, private credit, and sale-leasebacks do the work that 7(a) cannot. This page is written for owners and buyers and for more than one license class. It is not legal or tax advice.
If Equity and MSO stock consideration mixes medical and adult-use, apportion. The April 2026 order is not a blended gift. Dual shops that dump all SG&A into the medical column will lose that fight with a 280E-literate CPA. Cite Federal Register 2026-08176 and IRC §280E in the same memo.
