• If commercial vending is a business you are interested in, you can find a wealth of information about vending machines and vending machine routes on the Internet. Getting started in this business is easy, but depending on what type of vending machine you want to have, it could require a significant investment. Commercial vending machine dealers often offer payment plans, and you may choose to lease the equipment you need.

• Some prefer to get into the vending machine business by purchasing an established vending machine line. Dealers can give you information on vending routes for sale where vending machines are already placed in strategic locations. The locations of the vending machines will determine how much money you can make from commercial vending because you need areas where there are a lot of people. Retailers also offer used vending machines for sale, which can save you money when you start out.

• It is impossible to predict exactly how much money you can make with commercial vending machines. The success or failure of your business depends on the location of the vending machines, the products you sell, and the reliability of the machines. If you want to buy a vending machine, you should research and look at the machines beforehand. You could approach the vendor to buy a vending machine so you can start small. This way you can also find out if buying a complete vending line is worthwhile for you.

• Since the vending machine business is a commercial enterprise, you must adhere to state/regional regulations for commercial vending. You will need a business license and must keep accurate financial records for tax purposes. Another aspect to consider when selling a vending route is that the business owner will receive a commission on the amount of money you take from each vending machine. This is usually 40% of the gross amount before all costs are deducted.

• Look for a vending machine to buy if you want to get into commercial vending. Most start with candy or gum vending machines, but snack and drink vending machines are also very profitable. There are also vending routes with machines that sell medical supplies like aspirin or even personal care products like toothpaste, soap, and floss. The possibilities for products are almost endless when you look at the commercial vending machine business.
