Compliance Made Affordable

Introducing the Subscription-Based Fractional Chief Compliance Officer

Unlock executive-level cannabis compliance, now accessible to every licensed operator through an affordable monthly subscription.

Compliance without Compromise

Cannabis operators in 2025, and as they prepare for 2026, must manage a complex mix of inventory controls, staffing challenges, day-to-day operations, and evolving state and local regulations. Many of these responsibilities rest on the shoulders of owners or managers who are already stretched thin. The outcome is predictable: regulatory fatigue, operational inefficiencies, and costly compliance risks.
Tenax Strategies is redefining industry standards by making premium regulatory support accessible to cannabis businesses of all sizes. What was once limited to companies with substantial budgets or specialized resources is now within reach for every operator. Our Fractional Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) service removes cost barriers and ensures critical compliance expertise is always available when it’s needed most.

Accessible Expertise, Designed for Operators

Traditional compliance solutions rely on costly full-time executives, which most companies cannot afford. As a result, compliance often becomes just one part of a staff member’s responsibilities and can easily fall by the wayside. Tenax flips the model with a tiered subscription service, offering dedicated compliance resources starting at under $2,000 per month, less than the cost of a budtender.

Every subscription includes:

    • Complimentary state license renewal process, with drafting, documentation, and submission handled by Tenax
    • Access to compliance experts for real-time, ad hoc regulatory guidance
    • Comprehensive regulatory outlooks and change briefings delivered monthly
    • Dedicated, monthly compliance support that can be used for audit services, SOP implementation, inventory reconciliation, employee training, incident reporting, deficiency response— and more.

“Clients select the package of either 5, 7, or 10 hours per month whichever best fits their operational needs—with the flexibility to scale as business demands grow. There are no hidden fees and no additional overhead, just proven compliance expertise at a predictable cost. The goal of this program is to cover every critical aspect for true regulatory peace of mind, so operators can stay focused on what matters most.” said Pete D’Agostino, Partner at Tenax Strategies.

Protect Your License and Your Bottom Line

The operational reality for cannabis businesses is changing fast. Enforcement actions are increasing, regulations are growing stricter, and the cost of non-compliance through fines, audit failures, or license suspensions can quickly outweigh the cost of preventative support.
Accessible compliance ensures that any operator, regardless of market size, can get high-level support without hiring a full-time executive. Predictable, subscription-based pricing allows business owners to plan confidently, allocating resources for growth instead of unexpected penalties.
Tenax removes administrative, financial, and logistical barriers, streamlining compliance so your team can focus on what matters most: running the business, serving customers and patients, and driving revenue.

Proven Value: Trusted by Operators

Recent Tenax clients have realized substantial annual compliance cost savings while maintaining licensing and avoiding fines. In one Massachusetts case, proactive reconciliation audits prevented nearly $1,000,000 in potential penalties last quarter.
“The stakes have never been higher. Our fractional approach means you get expert guidance, on demand, without the commitment of a full-time hire,” says Pete D’Agostino, Partner at Tenax Strategies.
