One team for every licence and permit your operation needs.

Cannabis licences, food establishment permits, NHP site licences, provincial food-service permits — regulated businesses often juggle multiple licensing bodies with different requirements and timelines. Coast Valley specializes in obtaining and maintaining the licences and permits regulated manufacturing and food service businesses need to operate.

Who this is for: Businesses applying for a first-time manufacturing, processing or food service licence; companies operating across multiple licence types (e.g., a cannabis processing licence and a provincial food-service permit for a retail component); organizations expanding into a new province, municipality or facility that triggers new permit requirements; teams managing licence renewals, amendments or maintenance without a dedicated internal function.

Common triggers: A new facility, product line or business activity requires a licence or permit not yet in place; multiple overlapping licence types (federal, provincial, municipal) need to be coordinated; a licence renewal or amendment deadline is approaching without a clear internal owner; expansion into a new jurisdiction with unfamiliar permit requirements.

What Coast Valley delivers: Licence and permit landscape mapping across federal, provincial and municipal requirements; application preparation and submission support for cannabis, food, NHP and food-service licences and permits; licence amendment and renewal management; coordination across multiple licensing bodies for businesses with overlapping requirements; a maintained licensing calendar and compliance record for ongoing obligations.

Approach: Map every licence and permit the business's current and planned activities actually require. Identify gaps between current licensing status and what's needed for operations or expansion. Prepare and support submission of applications, amendments and renewals. Coordinate directly with the relevant regulatory bodies where appropriate. Hand over a licensing calendar and process the internal team can maintain going forward.

Why Coast Valley: Missing or lapsed licensing is one of the most disruptive and preventable risks to a regulated operation. Coast Valley's scope spans manufacturing licences (cannabis, food, NHP) and food service establishment permits, so multi-format operations can work with a single team instead of separate specialists for each licence type.
