    FLASH Coffee has retreated from several markets, three years after it raised funding and started blitzscaling across Asia.

    The company has declared bankruptcy in Taiwan, citing challenges in paying off debt due to operational difficulties.

    Its Taiwan subsidiary owes at least NT$120 million (S$5.1 million) to its creditors, a court document seen by The Business Times showed. The application for bankruptcy there was filed on May 6.
