Business For Sale

Business for Sale Overview:

This all terrain vehicle and motor scooter company, that just launched in October 2008 (retail operation in February 2009), is poised to make a big splash in a huge market that lacks a high qualify, but low cost vehicle provider that can compete with Honda and Yamaha in the ATV market, and that is far superior to Itallica in terms of quality scooters but comparable in price. The company, which holds the exclusive right to import and distribute their highly competitive motor scooter, all terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dune buggies throughout Mexico, has already had a formidable launch from its Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco headquarters. The founders, who are forced to sell due to extenuating circumstances, are willing to allow an aggressive entrepreneur to step into their shoes and reap the benefits of their substantial initial expense and efforts for less than the costs they incurred in the six months it took to launch the company! As such, the import and retail end of the business will be essentially turn-key for the buyer, as all of the kinks have already been worked out by the company’s founders. Now, the new owners can focus their time determining how to distribute the vehicles to retail showrooms, rental agencies, or direct to consumers in such major under developed markets as Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City, as well as in the top tourist destinations of Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Ixtapa, and throughout Baja California’s beaches and dunes.

Property Features and Assets:

This sale includes the company’s import and distribution rights of this private label motor scooter, all terrain vehicle and dune buggy line for the entire country. The company’s initial main office, which it uses as its initial sales showroom, and operations base from which to test the vitality of the rental market in a top tourist destination will also transfer to the buyer. This 1,100 square foot facility leases for $923 USD per month (12,000 MXP), on a long term lease with the ability for options. Rental inventory, which is comprised of 8 motor scooters and 2 all terrain vehicles, as well as the balance of units offered for retail sale (approximately 40 scooters, and 1 UTV) will be sold at cost at close. The approximate value of the inventory is $91,000 USD, however the inventory can be managed to be higher or lower. The firm, which just launched it ATV line, recently sold 7 units in only 5 days of receiving them!

Market Competition and Expansion:

Honda and Yamaha dominate Mexico’s all terrain and utility vehicle market, with a small number of inferior entry level private label brands that have small market share. No one is able to compete at this firm’s low price point, and still provide high quality all terrain and utility vehicles. Itallica dominates Mexico’s motor scooter market. While Itallica provides the lowest cost motor scooter, they are purported to lack this brand’s quality and performance attributes. As such, this company’s product line is able to meet what the owners feel is a large unmet market niche for low cost, high quality motor scooters, and all terrain vehicles that are comparable to Yamaha and Honda in terms of quality and performance, but that can be offered for a significantly lower price (and potentially financed). This unique private label motor scooter and ATV importer, distributor and retailer has made the necessary steps to carve out two potentially gigantic market niches that appears to be underdeveloped. New owners may seek to simply act as importers, and appoint sales outlets / retailers to sell their motor scooters and all terrain vehicles across Mexico, or they may seek to remain vertically integrated and retail the product themselves. Of course, those with far less lofty goals may simply seek to maintain the status quo, manage the retail center in this pristine beach resort community, and converse with tourists by day while living a life of leisure in the evenings. New owners may ultimately seek to capitalize on various aspects of the market knowledge they gain with this venture, and adopt the product and business model to active neighboring markets such as Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, and beyond.
