Denver, CO
Denver's operator economy leans outdoor DTC, cannabis-ancillary services, CBD, supplements, and a small-but-growing B2B SaaS cluster in RiNo and LoDo. multiflow consolidates 3+ brand portfolios into one parent ledger without touching customer-facing brands.
Denver's distinctive verticals: outdoor and adventure DTC (apparel, gear, supplements for athletes), CBD operators (legal at Colorado state level, restricted at most acquirers), cannabis-ancillary services (B2B companies selling to dispensaries — software, packaging, security — which are payments-approvable even though direct dispensary sales are not), and a tech/SaaS cluster that's quieter than coastal markets but real.
multiflow fits the Denver operator running 3+ brands, especially those straddling CBD and adjacent supplements. Parent-ledger consolidation keeps the ledger clean while brands stay publicly separate.
Colorado income tax is 4.40% flat. Sales tax is 2.9% state + local (Denver combined 8.81%). Economic nexus threshold is $100k/yr. Colorado is home-rule, meaning local municipalities can impose their own sales tax rules — Denver and some surrounding cities have self-collected tax rather than state-administered, which complicates compliance in checkout platforms.
Cannabis-ancillary operators (not direct dispensary sales) are payments-approvable. Direct dispensary sales are federally illegal and not processed by any card network — multiflow does not route direct dispensary payments. Dispensary-ancillary operators (B2B software, packaging, security services) route normally. Pricing is 5.5%–7.5% per transaction effective.
The Denver canonical: CBD product line + outdoor/adventure DTC brand + supplement SKU + affiliate funnel. CBD is federally legal (2018 Farm Bill) but restricted at most acquirers. multiflow routes to CBD-approving acquirers; per-brand descriptors keep the CBD brand identity separate from the outdoor DTC brand.
Consolidated chargeback representment and one reserve pool at the parent level replace four separate workflows.
