FAQs
What kind of businesses do you buy?
At Dauntless we buy app companies, vibe coded apps, business-aviation related businesses, aerospace/defense companies, and media/marketing related businesses.
My business isn’t profitable, can I still sell it?
Yes, you can still sell your business if you have intellectual property (IP), talent, and/or customers. Most of these deals are not cash offers but a combination of seller financing, equity roll over, and earn-outs. Dauntless acquires pre-revenue businesses through these creative financing tools.
I don’t want to sell to a PE firm, what are my options?
PE (Private Equity) isn’t for everyone. Instead, you can sell to a competitor or a company like Dauntless that does “legacy acquisition” where the brand and team is maintained post-sale.
Why do 70% of listed businesses fail to sell?
70% of businesses listed for sale never sell. This happens because 1) the valuation is too high and the sellers get married to a number; and 2) most businesses are not built to sell and are not designed to transition to new ownership.
How do I find a buyer for my business?
You can list anonymously on a marketplace like BizScout or BizBuySell. Many sellers opt to work with a broker, who is like a real estate agent for businesses. You can also reach out to private equity firms in your niche, or holding companies like Dauntless.
I’m working with a business broker, can i still sell to you?
Yes, we will acquire businesses through a broker. However, we may suggest you re-engage with us once your contract expires, depending on the terms of your broker agreement. When in doubt, reach out to use before you sign up with a broker.
