When comparing the advantages of choosing to invest in ECHC over our competition, it's important to consider more than just the benefits that our business plans and product packages offer to investors. It's also imperative that investors weigh the inherent risks that each company takes on, and compare the Risk Mitigation and Loss Mitigation Strategies that each company employs. Here at ECHC, we take pride in the lengths we'll go to protect our investors' interests. Our Risk Mitigation Strategies include: 3-layers of legal and financial separation between investors and licensed cannabis operations; Industry-specific lease agreements offering two-party termination in the event of law enforcement interventions or license revocations, and; Contingency plans to shift operational and staffing priorities, as well as investment in long-term product storage capabilities, in the event of artificially or naturally occurring market fluctuations or instabilities. Our Loss Mitigation Strategies include: Complete product and cultivation insurance packages (as available within California), in the event of any crop losses suffered by our Tenants; Retainer of seasoned attorneys to provide our family of companies with superior representation with any criminal defense or asset recovery needs, and; Transitional use plans for each property under our control, in the event of non-completion or revocation of license status (including selective Timber Harvest Management Plans, use as collateral for more immediate projects, possible time-share retreat for investors, or listing the property for sale to provide immediate asset recovery). Additionally, all ECHC properties with sufficient water resources will produce additional revenue streams (pardon the pun), regardless of cannabis license status.
