Start your own vending business - Entrepreneur Press

Looking for an opportunity to make big profits while setting your own schedule? A vending machine business could be your ticket to the top. Americans feed vending machines over $22 billion a year for sodas, candy, coffee and other snacks. That's a nice chunk of change you could be pocketing.

Starting out is easy. You can begin part time out of your home. As your customer base increases, you can hire extra help, buy more machines, and expand your service area. There's no real limit to how large you can grow your business.

This guide will answer all your questions, including:

• What are the secrets of scouting out territories?
• Which items sell, and which don't?
• How do I establish routes and hire route workers?
• Should I buy new or used machines?
• How do I arrange the best placement for my machines?
• Where can I get supplies at a discount?
• What are the laws and regulations I need to know?

Easy-to-understand instructions, checklists and worksheets guide you through every phase of the startup process. You'll also get useful resources, such as business forms, a glossary and a list of professional organizations to help you along the way.
