Purchase of Snappal Beverage Company	This would be a total acquisition of Snappal Beverage Company. This company manufactures a line of ice teas of various flavors and has a reputation of using the best materials on Earth for making their drinks. It is an established company, with owners looking to retire. They are willing to provide part time consulting for up to one year to anyone who buys the company.	$25,000,000	$8,500,000	8%	28%	3.86	$2,798,930	10%
Purchase of PolarBear Seltzer Company	This company is based in Massachusetts and distributes their flavored seltzers nationally. While they have a large, loyal customer following, the company has exchanged hands multiple times. The current owners want out of the business, but it is uncertain as to why this is the case. The company is undervalued and the sale price reflects this.	$15,000,000	$8,500,250	3.25%	54%	3.67	$2,511,449	11.82%
Development of Coffee Line	Research and development has been asking that the company develop a line of coffees for several years. This initial project would launch several varieties: a regular, a regular decaf, and three flavors. It would require a large investment by the company to include facility space, equipment, staff, etc. The first year would be a building/launching year, so cash flow would be minimal. However, the growth rate would be huge.	$45,500,000	$13,000,000	12%	34%	4.33	($179,836)	6%
Development of Straight Caffine	This project is another brain child of the research and development team. It extracts the caffine that is naturally found in coffee and concentrates it into a liquid, squirtable additive that can be used in any drink. R&D has been using variations of this liquid caffine to increase department productivity. Since it already exists, investment would be minimal.	$6,500,000	$2,500,000	4%	32%	3.62	$1,221,925	12%
