You're not dreaming. It's the reality of running a vending machine business.
Vending machines are everywhere these days. You can buy cigarettes, soft-drinks, candy, coffee and many other items from a vending machine. And each time someone puts coins in a machine, they're putting money into the pockets of the owner who's not even there.
If that got you thinking about running a vending machine business, here are more benefits to consider:
1. It's a multi-billion dollar industry.
It has been reported that vending is the largest, all cash industry in the world. According to Vending Times, total sales through vending machines in 2006 exceeded $41 billion. It's legitimate too.
2. It's a 100% Cash Business
As mentioned above, all transactions are done in cash. As a business owner, this means that you'll have no problems with your cash flow. There are also no collection hassles and bad debts to manage, unlike most other conventional businesses.
3. It's economic-proof
Because the products sold through vending machines are normally low-cost items which people buy regularly, the state of the economy has little impact on your business. Vending machine experts note that people still buy from vending machines during a depression or inflation.
4. Easy to set up and manage
A small investment will get your business up and running. Your vending machine begins earning the minute it's on location. Vending machines require minimal maintenance and servicing a machine takes very little time every month. You can run your vending machine business from home, part-time, while keeping your regular job.
5. High profit margins
Some vending machine suppliers promise high profit margins. It is good business sense though to study these proposals carefully before investing your hard-earned cash. A good rule is, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
6. All year-round business
Your vending machine business operates around the clock, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It continues to generate income for you without the need for your active involvement. This is an excellent source of passive income.
7. Significant tax advantages
Being in business allows you to take advantage of many tax breaks that are not available to an employed person. You'll enjoy tax deductionson business expenditure and only pay taxes on your nett profit, among other things. Check with the IRS for more specific details.
8. Low overheads
Since you can manage your vending machines by yourself, there is no need to employ any staff, unless you choose to. There is also no marketing or advertising costs involved. You will be selling products which are well-known, in which case the costs of advertising is taken care of by the manufacturer.
9. Financial and time freedom
Having a cash-generating vending machine business offers you the opportunity for achieving financial freedom, if you manage it well. You have a highly profitable cash business that you can grow to a point where you can give up your day job and retire on the income it provides. You'll also have time freedom - the freedom to control what you do with your time.
10. Being your own boss
I've kept this to the end but it does not in any way make it less important than any of the other benefits mentioned above. In fact, I consider this a key benefit to starting any business. Being your own boss comes with heavy responsibilities but it puts you in control of your business success and ultimately your life.
These are just the advantages of running a vending machine business. They do not in any way suggest that every vending machine business will be a success, although it is very rare that a vending machine will operate at a loss.
Like any other business, there are strategies and other business factors to be considered and implemented in order to make your vending machine business succeed at the level you aspire it to be. These will be discussed in depth in another article.
