Products & Services Overview
After years of strong performance and brand success, Dosh — a premium donuts and coffee concept based in Ho Chi Minh City — made the difficult but strategic decision to cease operations due to temporary cash flow constraints and broader economic conditions.
However, the company’s complete intellectual property and backend business systems remain intact, presenting a rare opportunity for an investor, operator, or franchise developer to acquire a fully developed, proven brand — without inheriting any operational liabilities.
This is an Intangible asset-based acquisition, offering all the systems, recipes, and brand equity needed to relaunch immediately or expand internationally under a plug-and-play model.
With Vietnam’s F&B sector expected to rebound strongly by late 2025, the timing is ideal for a new owner to bring Dosh back to life with renewed capital and strategic focus.
