ACCHK Ltd A.C.C. Cafe Club (Hong Kong)

Funds required: The project size is $1.5m. Rental deposit and declaration covers $1m with $0.5m for working capital after the launching day. We have placed around $0.5m in the venture as of today. The key shareholder has encountered financial difficulties and we are urgently seeking investors who are interested in this venture to avoid the delay of its launch. Conservatively, the expected monthly profit shall reach $200,000.

Project Details:
Account Cafe Club is originated from a young CPA in Deloitte, who holds 10% of this venture and whose brother is a DJ in Metro radio. We have taken 2 years to look for the right location, believing the critical success factor is location with the criteria of having a balcony. The concept of this cafe is to offer courses and food and beverage to clients including students for open exams and adults for investment seminars. The concept of this education cafe allows the hedge of weaknesses and peak and low period for both business models under the same location. The off period for cafe will be the peak period of classes being conducted. The size and the location of this education cafe offer a competitive advantage among other cafes. Together with over 1000 sq ft balcony (smoking area), it will become the preferred upstairs cafe in Hong Kong in the long run.

We plan to offer theme activities on a daily basis at the beginning phrase to attract people to come. We will also organize fans club functions and mini concerts for singers. At the meantime, we will sell different courses under our website and the notice board inside and outside the cafe. It will become a platform and a place for courses to be conducted in this cafe with food and beverage offered. The instructors can be hired or subcontracted. Parents can also wait for their kids while drinking coffee and reading books.
