Hello Searchfunder community, I’m Ricky Pentz, launching Iron Plains Powersports, a full-service powersports dealership based in Wichita, Kansas, focused on dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, and performance gear. 🔧 About Me I’m a lifelong rider and seasoned operations executive with deep experience in industrial services and P&L leadership. My background includes managing multi-site operations and turning around underperforming divisions, and now I’m channeling that operational horsepower into a venture rooted in my lifelong passion: motocross and powersports. 🚀 The Opportunity Iron Plains Powersports will serve an underserved market in Kansas with: - New & pre-owned vehicle sales (partnering with major OEMs) - Parts, gear, and accessories - Repair and service department - Event-based community building (demo rides, group rides, races) - E-commerce and dropshipping expansion via branded platform 💰 Capital Raise I’m currently raising $750K to launch the dealership, with a combination of SBA financing and investor equity. Funds will be used for inventory, facility build-out, working capital, and marketing. 📈 Why Now? - Regional demand for powersports is booming post-COVID - Lack of full-service dealerships within a 75-mile radius - Strong vendor relationships already in progress - Targeting $2M+ revenue by Year 3 🎯 What I’m Looking For Capital partners, search fund investors, or strategic advisors who are passionate about motorsports, retail growth, or high-margin consumer services. Let’s build something exciting in the heart of the country. Happy to share the deck and financials on request. Best, Ricky Pentz Founder – Iron Plains Powersports 📧 redacted
