An Alternative Business Model for an Alternative Therapy

People are looking for alternative therapies for pain, insomnia and anxiety for themselves and even sometimes their pets. Over the past several years, there have been changing perceptions about the use of CBD. Many people now recognize the health and wellness benefits that were previously met with uncertainty. Native Ceuticals is a CBD investment opportunity that is a licensed simple business model. It is an alternative to a typical franchising model. This means there are no franchise fees, royalties, expensive overhead or special equipment. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?

Native Ceuticals’ products are 100% natural, organic and non-GMO. They are trusted, pharma grade and have the highest concentration of Cannabinoids. Products include topicals, tinctures, ingestibles, a pet line, a bath line and more. Each Native Ceuticals location has an inviting retail store design with a relaxing environment. They also have a free online member program for those not able to get to the retail location.

The CBD industry is relatively new. In 2018, the Farm Bill passed. With this, the CBD market began to explode with the public. In early 2019, Native Ceuticals partnered with a CBD product formulator to create a trusted line of products. Also, in 2019, the company identified gaps in the CBD marketplace. In 2020, even with the pandemic, the company has had national expansion through their licensing a simple business model.
