    HONESTBEE could struggle to find a buyer amid reports that it is facing a cash crunch and looking for suitors, industry observers said.

    The grocery and food delivery startup is reportedly struggling to pay its staff, amid layoffs and high-level departures, and has held early talks with some potential buyers in Asia who could possibly acquire part or all of its business, according to a TechCrunch report last Friday.
