Hartle Powersports 87-2557953 | Government Grant Application

Hartle Powersports | Application Preview

 

Hartle Powersports is applying for a government grant of $20,000 to establish a fully equipped shop that can provide efficient and safe services for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and PWCs. The funds will be utilized for essential equipment, covering utilities until the business becomes self-sufficient, and hiring part-time staff to support initial operations.

The business plan outlines a five-year goal of expanding the workforce to 4-6 employees and positioning the shop as a comprehensive service destination for the local powersports community. The owner emphasizes their strong motivation, dedication, and extensive experience in the industry as reasons for funding approval.

San Angelo Texas currently has only one major competitor, Family Powersports, which holds a monopoly in the area. The owner points out that this competitor is not well-regarded by the community, charging high prices and offering slow service. Additionally, Family Powersports does not service Harley Davidson motorcycles, creating an opportunity for Hartle Powersports to fill this gap and serve a wider range of customers.

Hartle Powersports aims to establish personal relationships with customers and maintain inclusivity by servicing all brands. The owner's background in professional motocross and supercross provides a unique advantage, allowing the shop to offer specialized racing modifications for off-road equipment, a service not currently available nearby.

  • Funding Usage

    With $20,000 I could have my business fully equip with all the things needed to perform my work efficiently and safely. I would Also use the money to pay for my utilities until the shop creates enough revenue to stand on its own, and lastly the money could go toward some part time help to get started.

  • Business Plan

    In the next 5 years i would like to have my business fully staffed with 4-6 additional employees, and have my shop running as a one stop shop for all your motorcycle, atv, utv, and pwc needs. I believe investors should invest in me because i am an extremely motivated individual with high drive and strong dedication. San Angelo Texas needs another motorcycle / Powersports shop to compete with the only other one in town. The shop that exists here has a monopoly and they know it so their mark up is way more than it should be to the people of San Angelo. I am heavily experienced in the field and I believe i can make a difference here in the town of San Angelo. Another reason we need another Powersports shop here is because the one that does exist does not work on all brands of motorcycles, so the city is in need of someone who can service all their machines and keep everyone’s safety first priority!

  • Self Identified Competition

    There is only one true competitor in this city, and that is Family Powersports. This is a somewhat of a small city so everyone talks and there is not one single person i have ever heard say they are happy to go to Family Powersports. Since they are the only place in town everyone is force to go there, and Family Powersports (FP) knows it so they can charge extremely high labor rates and mark up parts prices. They have a long wait list for you you get into the service department, and most people say they take a long time to also get their equipment back from service. FP is also a dealership and work on Japanese model motorcycles, but do not work on Harley Davidson motorcycles. I am different from my competitors because i will make a more personal relationship with my customers. I would also like to become a dealer some day like my competitor but i will never stop accepting all brands to my shop unlike my competitor. As i said my competitor does not supply service to Harley Davidson enthusiasts and the nearest place that does is over an hour away! I will welcome them with open arms. Another thing that sets me apart is i have a background in the professional motocross /supercross dirt bike industry and i will be using my sources to be able to do racing modifications to off-road equipment, which is not available from anyone else on this side of Texas.
