Abstract

Within a few years of its incorporation in 1993, Pacific Coffee had transformed from a fledgling set-up to a premium brand in Hong Kong. As a forward thinking entrepreneur, Tom Neir knew that at some point, he and his business partners might want to exit the business and move on to something else. Instead of holding on to his brainchild, Tom thought it might be worth bringing in new investors who could carry it to new heights.
