Become a licensed dealer through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and register your business with the Better Business Bureau. All motorized vehicles require a license to operate, as well as a license to sell more than 5 vehicles a year, and RedCat ATV falls into this category. It will require that you apply for a motor vehicle dealer's license through the DMV, and it would also be a good idea to register your business with the Better Business Bureau, to ensure to your customers you're a legitimate dealer. Specific licensing requirements vary from state to state.

Contact a RedCat distributor like GoRedCat and inquire about their dealer programs and affiliate contracts. Many of these companies will allow you to deal as a third party and give you a percentage of the commission from their sales. It's best to find a RedCat distributor that has a business model compatible with your infrastructure. For example, if you plan on dealing bikes online entirely from home and you have very little room to stock them, find a distributor that can ship bikes directly to your customers. If you plan on selling out of your own store, or if you have space in your home to stock inventory, you might choose a distributor that supplies you with ATVs that you can sell and ship yourself.

Develop a RedCat ATV bike dealership. This can be a website with checkout capabilities, like an e-commerce checkout cart, or an actual physical store out of which you stock and sell the ATVs. It might be more convenient to deal the ATVs from a webpage, as you can secure sales and just have your distributor ship directly to the customers. There are trained professional web developers available for hire through online sites like Elance and Craigslist. If you want to deal from a physical location, it will require more capital, and you may have to take out a loan.

Advertise sales for your RedCat RTVs through an online campaign. The benefit to having a store online is that the startup and maintenance costs are very small, so you have more money for advertising. There are numerous ways to advertise online for free. You can market your motorbike brands to your customer base through search engine strategies, or creating back links through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, or you can use traditional strategies like mailers and print ads.
