Is starting a vending machine business the perfect low-risk, low-maintenance money-making thing to get into?
From what I’ve gathered………..
You can either buy a vending machine ($500-1,000) or rent it ($50/month)…….
and you set up an agreement with the location owner………..
(usually you pay them about 20% of the profits……..)………..
and they typically bring in $200-$500/month per machine.
and it can be easy to make a profit because you don’t buy extra inventory…………
you buy inventory on an as-needed basis. Usually you refill the machine once or twice per month.
Your thoughts?
Tell me what you know about this, and what you recommendation is.
I’m primarily interested in snack machines (candy, chips, maybe soda.)
experimenting with coffee and higher-gadget meals might be a little harder to do.
good luck, it’s a very ‘controlled’ business as far as the big dogs out there ‘owning’ the best sites
