Fractional Chief Compliance Officer (FCCO) Services

  • Hiring a full-time Chief Compliance Officer—or even an experienced Compliance Associate—can be a financial strain, especially for early-stage or scaling cannabis companies. Compliance is often overlooked or delegated to underqualified staff, leading to costly mistakes like recalls, contamination issues, or regulatory penalties.
  • At CanSat Consulting, we believe compliance should be affordable, strategic, and accessible. That’s why we offer Fractional Chief Compliance Officer (FCCO) services—giving you expert-level support without the full-time cost.
  • Initial Assessment
    We start with a short checklist to understand your operations, current compliance status, and gaps.
  • Tailored Plan & Transparent Pricing
    Based on the assessment, we provide a custom quote outlining estimated hours (e.g., 15–45/month) and covered services—no minimums, no long-term lock-ins.
  • Flexible Engagement Options
    Choose monthly retainers or on-demand support. Fixed-cost packages also available for easier budgeting. On average, our FCCO model costs 50% less than hiring in-house.
