A Collaboration for Medicinal Cannabis Companies
Affinity has partnered with CambridgeHOK, Lawrence Stephens and Subrosa Group to provide a holistic, turn-key cannabis solution.
Established in the Isle of Man in 2004, Affinity Group has scaled across a number of corporate, digital and luxury asset sectors, operating out of several leading jurisdictions. On the back of success in eGaming, Affinity has become a premier provider of corporate services for businesses in the medicinal cannabis market. With extensive experience in regulation and licensing, following years of working closely with local governments and regulatory authorities, Affinity has now partnered with CambridgeHOK, Lawrence Stephens and Subrosa Group to provide a holistic, turn-key cannabis solution for medicinal cannabis companies looking to locate in the Isle of Man and Malta.
The medicinal cannabis market
Operating a regulated business can be challenging. These challenges are increasing with the added pressures of an ever-shifting landscape and increased scrutiny by regulators as they must demonstrate the adequacy of their supervisory approach to international bodies such as MoneyVal and FATF.
Obtaining a licence is cause for celebration, but it should also prompt a business to take stock of how it will operate while maintaining compliance.
This is where Affinity Group’s Navigator can help.

Affinity Navigator’s comprehensive medicinal cannabis services include licence application, consultancy and compliance. Backed by this strategic partnership with CambridgeHOK, Lawrence Stephens and Subrosa Group, Affinity is a standout corporate service provider in the cannabis sector, with an industry-leading range of services and a proven record of performance.
Partnering for success
In addition to the regulatory requirements, the cannabis industry is highly unique and specialised, which adds a layer of complexity for companies establishing facilities to grow, extract, produce, test and distribute cannabis products. Each part of the process requires meticulous planning and, often, strategic support through a multi-faceted and time-consuming process.
