LALA Tequila's spirit is unique because it represents a harmonious blend of two distinct cultural influences. Originating from Jalisco, Mexico, the heartland of tequila, and raised in Amsterdam, the brand explores the world while staying true to its Mexican roots. This juxtaposition creates a tequila that embodies the authentic Mexican tequila culture while embracing a modern and sophisticated lifestyle that resonates with European consumers. Additionally, being a female-owned brand sets LALA Tequila apart, as it pioneers new paths in a traditionally male-dominated industry. The focus on female empowerment, social consciousness, and sustainability further adds to the brand's uniqueness, appealing to consumers who seek meaningful experiences and align with responsible and purpose-driven brands.

LALA Tequila stands out from other tequila brands due to its multi-faceted approach. Firstly, the brand's commitment to quality over quantity sets it apart in an industry that has historically been associated with party culture and shots. LALA Tequila seeks to redefine the perception of tequila in Europe, positioning it as a premium and characterful spirit that deserves appreciation and respect. Moreover, being a female-owned brand gives LALA Tequila a distinct narrative that resonates with consumers looking to support female empowerment and gender inclusivity. The brand's dedication to sustainability, social impact, and environmental stewardship further distinguishes it from competitors, appealing to conscious consumers seeking brands with a purpose.

LALA Tequila's sustainability efforts are evident throughout its business operations. The brand is actively working towards obtaining its B Corp certification, which showcases its commitment to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and legal accountability. By pursuing this certification, LALA Tequila aims to balance profit and purpose, demonstrating a dedication to making a positive impact on both people and the environment.

Furthermore, LALA Tequila's environmental mission involves using the agave plant to its fullest potential. The tequila production process, labels, and lids are all part of the sustainable approach, ensuring minimal waste and responsible utilization of resources. Additionally, the brand collaborates closely with the NGO Sikanda, which focuses on female empowerment, especially in the Oaxaca region. By supporting Sikanda, LALA Tequila actively contributes to female entrepreneurship and social development.

LALA Tequila makes a significant impact on various levels. Firstly, as a pioneering female-owned brand in a male-dominated industry, LALA Tequila challenges traditional norms and promotes gender equality and inclusivity. By actively working towards a fully female-run production line, the brand exemplifies its dedication to empowering women not only within its business but also in society as a whole.

On a social level, LALA Tequila's collaboration with the NGO Sikanda contributes to female empowerment and sustainable development in Mexico. Supporting women entrepreneurs helps uplift local communities and fosters positive change. Through its commitment to sustainability and responsible entrepreneurship, LALA Tequila encourages other businesses to follow suit and embrace conscious practices.

We work with female creatives from mostly Mexico to create our content and use the LALA social media outlets as a creative platform for artists who showcase their work.

Moreover, LALA Tequila's dedication to quality, authenticity, and sustainability aligns with the growing demand for premium and socially responsible products among consumers. As a brand with a strong focus on female empowerment and social impact, investing in LALA Tequila allows individuals to support a purpose-driven business and contribute to positive change.

When you invest in LALA Tequila, you are buying a certificate of shares from Stichting Administratiekantoor LALA Tequila of LALA Tequila B.V. Officially, you are not buying a share, but a certificate that is similar to a share.

By purchasing a certificate, you become an economic co-owner of LALA Tequila and are entitled to dividends (profit distribution) if the management of LALA Tequila B.V. and the shareholders' meeting approve it.

Additionally, you can benefit from any increases in the value of the certificates.

Stichting Administratiekantoor (STAK) LALA Tequila can be seen as an "intermediary" that acts as the administrator of the shares. STAK separates the voting rights from the profit rights, which means that as an investor, you do not have voting rights but can still participate in the success of LALA Tequila.

LALA Tequila is selling a portion of its shares to further spread its brand and vision. Collaboration is at the heart of LALA Tequila, which is why we are taking this step.

The raised investments will mainly be used for the following purposes:

We strive for transparency in our campaign and believe it is important to provide clarity on the valuation.

After using the discounted free cash flow method and the market multiples method, the pre-money valuation of LALA Tequila's equity was determined to be €1.98 million.

This email serves as proof of your investment and contains information about your purchase for your own records. The certificates will then be visible in your dashboard. The administration of your certificates will also be handled through Broccoli.

The sale of shares is possible once the "time-lock" period has expired. In the case of LALA Tequila, the time-lock period is 730 days (2 years). Therefore, starting from a certain date, you can offer your shares for sale.

The bulletin board, where you can offer shares to other co-owners, works as follows: When you decide to sell your shares, you can offer them to other Broccoli users on the bulletin board. It is not like a stock exchange where a "sell order" can be placed and executed automatically.

LALA Tequila determines the range within which an offer can be placed. This range is based on the latest company valuation, which in turn is derived from the latest financial performance and market segment. As the seller, you determine the selling price within the specified range. Potential buyers can place bids, and ultimately, it is up to you to accept the desired offer.

Broccoli charges a transaction fee of 2.5% of the total sales amount to you as the seller when selling shares.

No, there are no costs for you as the buyer when purchasing certificates through the Broccoli platform. Transaction costs or issuance fees are charged to the seller, which in this case is LALA Tequila.

Please note: If you decide to sell your certificates, you, as the selling party, will be responsible for the transaction costs. This amounts to 2.5% per transaction based on the sales amount for administrative processing. The buyer, once again, does not pay any fees.

As a certificate holder, you are completely exempt from any liabilities. Therefore, as an investor in LALA Tequila, you cannot be held responsible for decisions made by LALA Tequila in the past or in the future.

There are always risks associated with an investment, so it's important to invest only with money you can afford to lose. LALA Tequila takes into account risks that may negatively impact its financial performance and the value of LALA Tequila. These negative effects can also have implications for the value of your certificates.

For your own administration, you will receive an investment proof immediately after purchase. Additionally, Broccoli provides the option to export your transaction(s) at any time of the day.

On January 1st of each new year, you can also export your annual overview from the Broccoli platform. This overview includes the number of certificates you own in each company and their respective values. You can use this information for your own administration or for your tax return.

For questions regarding the administration of your certificates, you can contact Broccoli by emailing support@broccoli.eu.

When you have investments, you must declare the value of your investments. The investments on Broccoli do not fall under "green investments," so you cannot receive any extra exemption or additional tax credit for them.

A portion of your wealth is exempt from taxation; this is known as the tax-free threshold (heffingsvrij vermogen). The value of the certificates falls under Box 3 (income from savings and investments), which has a minimum tax-free threshold of €57,000 (and €114,000 if you have a fiscal partner) in 2023. You can use a tool provided by the tax authorities, which you can find here, to calculate your Box 3 income. Unfortunately, you do have to pay taxes on your income from wealth. In the case of an investment like this, we are referring to "Investments/other assets," and the taxable rate is 6.17%. In 2023, you will pay 32% tax on the rate of 6.17% on the total achieved return in 2023.

For more information on how to calculate your Box 3 value, you can refer here.
