Profitable Power Sports Retailer – No Banking Needed

SEPTEMBER 02, 2025

In less than 10 years, this family run business has grown from a start-up to a complete sales, service and parts dealership, retailing power sports equipment including a complete spectrum of ATV’s from five manufacturers (both domestic and imported), golf carts, mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes, street bikes, UTV’s, go karts and more. The business also offers a complete line of accessories and hauler trailers. And to make the customer experience even more memorable, the business has $225,000 of on-hand inventory (cost basis) and $125,000 of fixed assets, both of which are included in the price of the business. The inventory is fully displayed at the dealer’s large, modern and impressive West Michigan facility.

This business has increased the market of individual families looking for outdoor motorized recreation activities. The sellers have found a niche in the market by offering brands such as Yamaha Golf Carts, Massimo UTV’s and ATV’s, and Apollo youth ATV’s, go karts, dirt bikes, and the like, with the inventory owned outright by the sellers’ business thus avoiding hurdles and red tape often associated with selling mainstream domestic brands and/or importing from lesser foreign manufacturers with whom retailers cannot control deliveries and/or inventory levels. And while you might not see names such as Honda or Polaris on the sales floor you can find them in the service department. The six skilled, full-time, non-union technicians are kept busy year-round servicing all the brands the business sells along with those they don’t.

There is no chance this power sports dealer can go unnoticed; from its generous presence paralleling a major Michigan State Highway to its spacious, paved parking lot displaying eye-catching inventory to a late model purpose-built two-story sales building which holds even more offerings of power sports products, customers are sure to know they are in the right place.

Just as the products they sell are built for outdoors and adventure, so goes the property this business owns and occupies. This dealership boasts an 8.4 acre footprint of attractive, undeveloped land awaiting growth opportunities and a large 10,000 square foot indoor showroom with a lower level functioning as additional show space. The second floor houses a business office in which financing and insurance is arranged for customers. There are also two utility out-buildings (3,000 square feet and 5,600 square feet respectively) housing overflow inventory and the company’s highly rated service department. Put it all-together and this profitable, cash-flowing business located on the outskirts of a major and desirable West Michigan city has plenty of room to sell, service, store, and grow.

The sellers look forward to giving the successful buyer of this business ample transition training (included in the price of the business) to make sure the new owner is knowledgeable in “all things power sports.” In addition, the business is managed by a well-paid general who has years and years of power-sports dealer experience. Having this manager in place will enable the buyer of the business to work limited hours or even own the business on an absentee owner basis . The past several years years, the business has averaged $2.8 million in annual revenues with an impressive average annual SDE (SDE = seller’s discretionary income – the historical, normalized cash flow available to pay the owners and service debt) of $360,000.

This niche business is very attractively priced at $650,000 which is the sum of (1) goodwill/enterprise value of $300,000 + (2) $225,000 (cost basis) of active, current inventory + (3) $125,000 for all the fixed assets of the business = $650,000. Term of sale include: (1) $250,000 at close; (2) $175,000 thirty days after closing; and (3) an interest free $225,000 seller note with payments made on the cost basis of vehicles sold. The outstanding real estate can be leased for $8,700 monthly or purchased in a separate transaction for $1.4 million on a 100% land contract. The $1.4 million price is based on a very current (August, 2025) commercial real estate appraisal.
