Let's find out - RunRev delivered almost exactly what you're looking 
for, at least as far as providing iOS deployment more affordably for 
non-revenue-producing apps:

If instead the app is to be sold commercially as part of a business, how 
can the business survive if it isn't making enough to cover the cost of 
design, development, marketing, and Apple's 30% cut for distribution?

If the segment being pursued is too narrow to be profitable anyway, 
there are many ways to benefit from apps than direct revenue.  It may be 
both cheaper and more profitable for the app the join the majority in 
the app store that are distributed at zero cost to the user.
