Jump to: navigation, search

The vending machine business is a 100% cash-only business with a nominal initial investment (with the exception of the bigger vending machines) and does not require previous selling experience of any sort.

A vending machine provides snacks, beverages, lottery tickets, and other products to consumers without a cashier. Items sold via these machines vary by country and regions.

Whereas in some countries, merchants may sell alcoholic beverages through vending machines, other countries do not allow this practice due to stricter regulations.

Many say that starting a vending machine business will make you your own boss because you will be the one who decides on which vending machine to buy.

Vending machines business is evolving, now to include innovative business opportunities such as Alco-Buddy, an alcohol breathalyzer vending machine.
