HWC Coffee
HWC Coffee was founded in 2016 by a group of coffee roasters and cuppers. The name of HWC Coffee (Hei Wo) is derived from chernozem or black soil that plays a central role in high-quality bean cultivation.
To date, the company operates 70 stores in Taiwan and markets its products worldwide. In 2017-2019, China Airlines chose HWC Coffee products as the official drinks for the presidential jets and the official souvenir for the 58th Golden Horse Awards year 2021.
In 2022, the company inked a collaboration pact with Malaysia’s largest subscription base platform Subplace to kick-start its overseas expansion push, starting from Malaysia.
Issues Faced by Owner
业主面临的问题
Business License
While setting up your business at a new location, the most basic requirement from the Malaysian government is a valid business license, but most entrepreneurs aren't familiar with the procedure of application and type of documents required for the application. Operating without a valid MBJB license is an offence and can lead to fines and other enforcement action by the council.
Signboard License
A signboard license is a mandatory requirement when applying for a business license. Before applying for a signboard license from your local council, it needs to be certified by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) beforehand. More often than not, business owners choose to use a different name from their registered SSM for their business signboard. Or use a language other from Bahasa Melayu. These are the common reason for being rejected by DBP and it'll hinder the process of getting the signboard license. This will then snowball into a bigger issue, hindering business license application.
FoSIM
In the food and beverages industry, Food Safety Information of Malaysia (FoSIM) by Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) is also a mandatory certification needed by entrepreneurs as a proof to their customers that their premise and products are hygienic and safe to be at/for consumption. Businesses in the F&B line that does not own a FoSIM will be compounded by KKM.
