18 January 2026Vending machine costs
18 January 2026Leasing is a financing model in which the customer (lessee) receives the right to use a vending machine for a fixed period in return for a monthly fee. At the end of the term, the unit can usually be taken over, returned or exchanged for a new model.
Function and area of use
Leasing is the preferred form of financing, especially for B2B customers and established companies. The lease payments are also tax-deductible as business expenses.
In the vending industry, leasing is often used to stay technologically up to date. After a term of usually 36 or 48 months, many operators exchange their units for the latest generation with more efficient cooling or better touchscreens.
VendSpot arranges leasing on request through partner leasing companies. A 50% down payment is always required.
