VERDE USA

Opportunity

Banking continues to be a challenge as cannabis companies within the US cannot legally access traditional banking services


The cannabis industry continues to evolve, providing an ideal opportunity for a roll-up strategy

VERDE USA

Will keep management in place, and oversee their operations of the assets
