Question 1

Why invest in startups?

Accepted Answer

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow

Question 2

How much can I invest?

Accepted Answer

Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.

Question 3

How do I calculate my net worth?

Accepted Answer

To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.

Question 4

What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?

Accepted Answer

We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

Question 5

Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?

Accepted Answer

Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.

Question 6

What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?

Accepted Answer

There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.

Question 7

When will I get my investment back?

Accepted Answer

The Preferred Series B stock (the "Shares") of Bella Rio Consulting, Inc. (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the
possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.

Question 8

Can I sell my shares?

Accepted Answer

Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.

Question 9

Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:

Accepted Answer

In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
● The company that issued the securities
● An accredited investor
● A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)

Question 10

What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?

Accepted Answer

If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.

Question 11

How can I learn more about a company's offering?

Accepted Answer

All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.

Question 12

What if I change my mind about investing?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com

Question 13

How do I keep up with how the company is doing?

Accepted Answer

At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on it’s website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.

Question 14

What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?

Accepted Answer

Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.

Question 15

What kind of exit strategy do you have planned?

Accepted Answer

As we are a start-up venture, the shares are currently illiquid, but dividends, IPO, joint venture, or acquisition are all on the table. After 12 months of holding from the close of the campaign, you will have the opportunity to trade your shares privately or in a secondary market.

Question 16

When will I receive my bonus perks?

Accepted Answer

Your bonus perks will be shipped once you are fully closed as an investor. Some perks may take longer to produce, or may be date specified.

Question 17

Do I need tax forms or K-1s?

Accepted Answer

You do not need a tax form as you are not receiving any capital gains (dividends or income from a stock sale) from our C-Corporation at this time. Also, K-1s are provided by LLCs, so the file is not applicable to our company.

Question 18

How can I view the annual investor report?

Accepted Answer

To find our annual investor report, visit this link: https://www.rocknvodkas.com/investors

Question 19

Why do I need to submit personal information to invest?

Accepted Answer

The information required is typical when investing and is necessary for verification. All personal information that you share is kept strictly confidential by our company and transfer agent, and will never be shared.

Question 20

Can I transfer/purchase shares to/for a family/friend?

Accepted Answer

Ownership of the equity is given to the person whose information is inputted. Ownership can be transferred within a restricted period given that it is a familial relationship. Our transfer agent will be able to assist you in transferring or purchasing shares for someone else.

Question 21

What investment tier will I qualify for?

Accepted Answer

We will acknowledge the next level's perks with the supplemental investment. Your total investment in this campaign determines the investment tier bonus perks that you qualify for.

If you are a Tier 1 investor, you only have to pay the difference to become a Tier 2 investor to obtain any bonus perks from that tier, and the same goes for all other tiers; however, this is only applicable to the current investment round. This means that if you were a Tier 1+ investor from round 1 or 2, you will not qualify for any of the current round's bonus perks, and you will have the invest the full amount in order to get any Tier's bonus perks. Essentially, your tier is reset for the current round, but you maintain all previously owned shares and bonus perks if you invested previously.
