Why does Tobacco Business labeled as a High-risk business?
Tobacco businesses are labeled as High-risk businesses for these primary reasons.
- Tobacco products are age-restricted and regulated by the federal government. And that means they require additional underwriting knowledge and procedure from the payment service providers. But many providers are not prepared to offer their services to tobacco businesses.
- Health Concerns. Tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars contribute to a large number of severe diseases. And that consists of lung cancer, emphysema, and high blood pressure.
- State Laws. Each state has different laws regarding tobacco sales, distribution, and transportation. Some states even have prohibitions on tobacco products.
So, due to these main risks. Many merchant service providers refuse to accept a tobacco business.
