Expect $2K-$10K for your first machines -- used snack and drink machines run $1K-$4K each, new ones $3K-$8K+, plus initial inventory and a card reader. Buying an existing route costs more but comes with proven locations. Co-COO helps you model both entry paths.
Placement is the hardest part of the business. Most operators cold-approach offices, gyms, apartment complexes, and schools, offering the location owner a commission of 5-25% of sales. A written placement agreement covering commission, term, and exclusivity protects your investment. The plan includes a location acquisition strategy.
