![No Holds Barred!: Hemp Startup 101
There are many questions that you need to ask when starting a new business or even upgrading your facility to accommodate more production. Since 2014, extraktLAB has been heavily involved in putting hundreds of botanical and hemp manufacturers in the business of extracting hemp and creating valuable products that consumers will buy. When it comes to starting up a hemp extraction business, it is vital to recognize a number of factors in order to start off on the right track and remain in business for many years. If you are ready to take on the journey of creating your own hemp startup, this is the podcast for you. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson discuss everything you need to know when starting your own hemp processing business. Any questions you may have should be answered before starting your business. This would include facility location, power supply, permitting jurisdiction, room for expansion, utility placement, extraction methods and product formulations among many other considerations. Without understanding each of these important factors, there is no guarantee that your startup will hit the ground running - let alone remain profitable in the years to come.

![GMP Utility Considerations
GMP practices can mean the difference between a concrete business, or a business made of paper in the extraction industry. If you are not GMP compliant in your business practices, you can be sure that your lack of compliance will catch up to you and eventually spell doom for your operations. But, what about your utilities? Have you overlooked an equally important aspect of the GMP equation?
GMP utilities coupled with a genuinely good GMP Process Flow is the means to success in the extraction industry. Good manufacturing practices are simply systems designed to ensure that products are created and produced with consistency according to strict quality standards. In creating extracts intended for human consumption (especially hemp based products), these standards are absolutely essential. So too are the GMP utilities you utilize.
In this video, extraktLAB CEO, Dr. Jon Thompson, discusses the best use of GMP utilities in your extraction business. He will break down the basic categories of utilities, the importance of Clean in Place procedures, direct, indirect and no impact to API and more. Listen and learn from this video to set yourself up for success in GMP compliance.
