Our story

From specialty commercial to cannabis.

Josh Cotner built CCA in 2005 around specialty industries that standard markets don't serve well — contractors, operators, and regulated businesses. Cannabis is the natural extension of that expertise.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

Industry-first, always

We understand state licensing requirements, track-and-trace obligations, and the compliance landscape that shapes cannabis insurance needs.

Coverage that closes the gaps

Product liability exclusions, crop loss limitations, and cyber gaps in cannabis POS systems — we address the risks standard commercial markets miss.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and cannabis experience to be there when a product recall, crop loss, or D&O claim hits.

Honest, no-pressure advice

If you don't need a line of coverage, we'll tell you. We earn trust by being straight about what your cannabis operation actually requires.
