Licensing
Your business must be registered with the State of Michigan with a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Treasury issued TR Number.
If you don’t have one, you can easily fix that! Simply apply for a FEIN with the Internal Revenue Service.
License Types

Microbusiness - Businesses licensed to cultivate, process, package, as well as sell/transfer Marihuana to Marihuana safety compliance facilities or qualifying individuals but not other Marihuana establishments.
