Looking forward to talking to everyone!

I was thinking about a route of vending machines. It seems to be the kind of business where you can start small, and add to it as you are able. Your thoughts and suggestions are certainly welcome.

That's not a bad idea; being able to start small and expand. Go to the small business administration website at http://www.sba.gov/. It is an EXCELLENT resource to help you start a small business. There are all kinds of helpful advice and tools to get you going.

Exclamation experienced

Years ago,I was a locator for vending machines.This is one of the biggest rip-off industries around.People would buy a "route" from a biz op company,paying $300.00 for a candy machine that I could buy for $25 at the local vending epair shop-often dumped there by somebody who bought it for 300.00 earlier that year.If you are not knowledgable about this field,be very carefull.A locator gets permission to place vending machines in a business.Feel free to contact me about whatever type of machine you are interested in and I will let you in on the pitfalls I know to watch out for.
