What is a Marijuana Microbusiness?

A microbusiness is a marijuana facility license issued only to eligible individuals and entities. These licenses are essentially small businesses that are designed to allow a path to facility ownership for those individuals who would not otherwise have that opportunity. The Missouri Constitution provides that individuals who each meet at least one of the eligibility criteria set forth in Article XIV, Section 2, may apply for a marijuana microbusiness facility license. More information about eligibility criteria can be found here.

Microbusiness Applicants Generally:

• Majority owners must meet at least one eligibility criteria from Article XIV, Section 2.

• An entity/individual may only apply for and obtain one microbusiness license.
