KMC does not currently provide its Agricultural/Implement Equipment (AIE) dealers with minimum space requirements. AIE dealers are authorized to sell and service Kawasaki branded side x side vehicles and/or ATV only.
AIE dealers must provide adequate showroom, sales, accessories, and service departments in order to effectively sell, service and represent the Kawasaki brand. In the event that other brands are represented in the same facility, Kawasaki requires at least equal space and representation in all areas, depending on Kawasaki products carried.
In addition to the initial start-up costs and working capital, dealers must qualify for a wholesale line of credit through Kawasaki Motors Finance Corp. (or another financial institution acceptable to KMFC), from $150,000 to $500,000 or more, based on expected sales and product lines carried.
