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.
How It Works
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.
