Profitable Power Sports Retailer with Great Real Estate
JULY 14, 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 nearly $400,000 of on-hand inventory (included in the price of the business) at its 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 their 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 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 lots of eye-catching inventory to a late model purpose-built two-story sales building which holds even more offerings of motor 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 over a seven acre footprint of undeveloped land awaiting growth opportunities, a large 10,000 square foot indoor showroom with a lower level functioning as an additional showroom, and a second floor business office which arranges financing and insurance for its customers. There are also two additional utility out-buildings housing overflow inventory and the company’s highly rated service department. Put it all-together and this profitable business located on the outskirts of a major West Michigan City has plenty of room to sell, service, store, and grow.
The sellers look forward to giving the successful buyers of this business ample transition training to make sure the new owners are knowledgeable in “all things motorsports.” The last three years, the business has recorded $3.0 million in average 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 nearly $350,000.
This niche business is attractively priced at just over $2.0 million which is the sum of (1) a favorable 1.5x SDE multiplied by the company’s average SDE + (2) $350,000 (cost basis) of active, current inventory for the business and (3) $1.275 million for the market price of the included package of land and buildings. And for a qualified buyer, the sellers will help minimize the buyer’s banking needs by carrying a meaningful $250,000 seller note.
