The wholesale insurance brokerage company will introduce CannaBOP to Arizona businessowners beginning March 8^th, 2021.

San Francisco, CA March 8, 2021  M.J. Hall & Company, a wholesale insurance brokerage covering the western United States, announced today that they are now the only wholesaler to have access to the first admitted carrier for cannabis in Arizona, thanks to an exclusive partnership with an A rated insurer. The product, Cannabis Businessowners Policy (CannaBOP), provides admitted coverage tailored to the unique needs of cannabis industry business owners.

Hall is in a unique position to offer the cannabis businessowners of Arizona comprehensive coverage to help them succeed and grow in this industry. As a company, we have a longstanding history of supporting the cannabis industry, and we are proud to continue that tradition by bringing CannaBOP to Arizona.”
