You don't need any more than your original investment. However, the more machines you place on locations, the quicker your cash income increases. Once I am in business, how long before I start making money? One nice thing about this business is that from the first day your machines are on location they are working for you. Your vending machines will begin to make you money immediately. There is no need to work and wait for months or years while you build a clientele. Your machines are like "silent" salespersons working for you. They are on the job constantly, day and night, summer and winter, Sundays and holidays. Vending equipment cater to everyone; rich, poor, male, female, young and old. Do I have to sell and advertise? No. You will not be selling like sales people on a show room floor or on a telephone or door to door. Your vending machine is your sales person. You can hire a professional locator to negotiate the initial deal for your vending machine installation at a location. After that is done, your good service and attention to detail is considered the best way to keep an account sold on you. The manufacturers of the products have spent a fortune on advertising the products you are selling and have created a huge demand for their product, and you are taking advantage of that.

Most important, the plan and its progress must be communicated to everyone involves with its implementation. With these thoughts in mind, you are ready to begin.
