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
