Sbrega is a strong proponent of small businesses, particularly cannabis startups often facing problems securing funding, as marijuana remains illegal federally.
Lighthouse Biz Solutions is a cannabis financial services subsidiary of GFA Federal Credit Union in Gardner, where Sbrega was formerly CEO, and was the first in the state to provide banking services to cannabis companies. Sbrega is very cognizant of the unique challenges cannabis operators face, as Lighthouse offers consultation and access to professional networks to help operators get their businesses off the ground.
