Rent, buy or lease a snack vending machine?<\/h1>

There are four ways to get a snack vending machine: buy, finance, lease or have an operator install one. What sets them apart, who keeps the revenue in the end, and why we do not rent out vending machines ourselves.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

How buying, financing or leasing affects your taxes depends on your business. Clarify this with your tax adviser before you decide.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n

Renting usually means: operator-placed<\/h2><\/div>

Anyone searching for \u201csnack vending machine rental\u201d usually ends up with vending operators. The operator installs its machine on your premises, restocks and maintains it and keeps the revenue. You provide the space and electricity and, at best, receive a small commission. For a quiet break room, that may be enough.<\/p>

As soon as the location does well, the numbers turn. Every snack bar sold earns money for the operator, not for you. The operator sets the range, prices and restocking schedule, and if the machine does not earn enough, it is taken away again.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

Buy, finance or lease<\/h2>

With all three options, the vending machine works for you. The only difference is how you pay for it.<\/p><\/div>

\n
Purchase<\/span>

Directly in the shop<\/h3>

You pay the purchase price, and we start production once payment has been received. On request, we agree a 50% down payment and 50% before delivery. Delivery throughout Europe in 8 weeks, plus \u20ac300 shipping.<\/p><\/div>\n

50 %<\/span>

Financing<\/h3>

You pay half up front and the rest in instalments. The vending machine and its revenue belong to you from the start. We discuss the term and instalment with you.<\/p><\/div>\n

Partner<\/span>

Leasing<\/h3>

On request through our partner leasing companies. Whether a contract is concluded, and on what terms, is decided by the leasing company after reviewing your business.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>

Why we do not rent out<\/h2><\/div>

Every VendSpot vending machine is built for one customer, with that customer\u2019s design, compartments and payment methods. Taking such a machine back after two years and installing it for the next customer does not fit with that.<\/p>

That is why we sell, and remain your point of contact afterwards. We fix faults remotely via TeamViewer, usually within 24 to 48 hours. If that is not possible, we arrange an on-site appointment straight away. On request, we take care of restocking, with no obligation to buy goods from us.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n
