Why Vending?

Top 10 Profit Maker!

The Small Business Administration has released statistics ranking vending machines in the TOP 10% OF PROFIT-MAKING BUSINESSES, with profits increasing steadily since the early 1940's!

AVERAGE hourly income of OFFICE WORKER $ 4.85
AVERAGE hourly income of FACTORY WORKER $ 7.04
AVERAGE hourly income of SALESMAN $ 8.16
AVERAGE hourly income of PLUMBER $12.00
AVERAGE hourly income of SNACK VENDOR owner/operator $70.58

How does your present income compare with the above? Incomes of up to $200.00 gross profit per hour, and 4 month investment returns are not uncommon!

With income like that, it's NO WONDER the U.S. Department of Commerce reports that of those people starting a new vending business, a full 92% are successful and still in business after 5 years, 90% after 10 years!

Vending Is NOT Small Change. . . It's BIG Business!

Last week alone, Americans plunked a staggering $600 million dollars into vending machines. That's over $3 million dollars an hour. . . and more than enough quarters to circle the earth!

Vending (including amusement) is a dynamic $35 billion dollar industry that's growing at an impressive rate! And the vending concepts I'll share with you offers you among the highest profits available. . . and maximum market penetration. . . due to some very unique machines and management concepts!

Vending. . . The ULTIMATE Business Opportunity!!

You could earn an AMAZING return on a very SMALL investment!

Ask Yourself?

What other business offers you all the following. Be in a business with. . .

  • HIGH income potential!
  • LITTLE competition!
  • AUTOMATIC repeat business!
  • NOT Seasonal!
  • NO fixed overhead!
  • NO employees (unless you want)!
  • IMMEDIATE cash flow!
  • START full-time OR part-time!
  • RECESSION PROOF!
  • MINIMAL time investment!
  • NO selling experience needed!
  • NO technical experience required!
  • NO advertising!
  • NO trucks!
  • NO franchise fees or royalties to pay!
  • All CASH (no collections, financial privacy)!
  • Comprehensive company support!
  • INFLATION PROOF!

In fact, this business has almost NONE of the usual expense, risk, or hassles normally associated with a business venture! And it's FUN to operate! What else is there?

According to the recent Vending Times Census Of The Industry, there are over 9700 vending route operators in the U.S. The majority of them (69%) are very small, employing 3 or fewer people. And 26% comprise the owner only. So as you can see, you don't need a big operation or a huge financial investment to be successful!

No Selling Experience Needed

In the chapter titled "Getting GREAT Locations" I share many unique and effective ways to get the best locations with no selling or selling experience required. ANYONE can do it!

You can get good, profitable vending locations easily with the 'space donated' CHARITY CONCEPT. . . the free 'space provided' CONVENIENCE CENTER CONCEPT. . . or the SHARED REVENUE CONCEPT. And I will direct you to excellent sources of product supply.

Recession And Inflation Proof!

The whole vending and amusement industry is uniquely recession and inflation proof! For example:

The U.S. candy market is a multi-billion dollar industry that is virtually unaffected by the ups and downs of the national economy.

In tough times, people may put off buying a new car or clothes. . . they may eat less steak and lobster. . . but they won't do without their candy bar! It's a simple luxury that anyone and everyone can afford no matter what's going on in their world.

Americans eat over 20 pounds of candy per year each. . . and over half of that is chocolate!

It's interesting to note that the candy industry is growing, even though there is a perception that people should eat more healthy. They know they should, and many are, but they STILL want their candy.

Similar recession proofing is observed in other areas of vending and amusement. Various candy, snacks and games are viewed as an AFFORDABLE INDULGENCE. . . often bought on impulse.

The whole industry is INFLATION proof as well, because products are sold at consistent mark-ups based upon cost. When cost goes up, so does the sales price. And when the sales price goes up, YOUR PROFIT MARGIN GOES UP with it!

The Magic Of Compounding BIG Returns!

Surely you'd agree that when you have an opportunity to make up to 100%, or even as high as 500% annual return on your money, it doesn't have to take a lot of money to make a lot. Even a small investment compounded (reinvested) over a relatively short time can add up to a fortune!

The chart below shows how much money you'd have at the end of 1 through 5 years for each $1,000.00 you could invest at 10%, 50%, etc. Look at what you'd have after five years at 10% versus 100%. You sure can't get anywhere at bank rates, can you?

$1,000.00 Invested At Various Annual Rates Of Return
Year 10.% 50.% 100.% 200.% 500.%
1 $1,100 $1,500 $2,000 $3,000 $6,000
2 1,210 2,250 4,000 9,000 36,000
3 1,331 3,375 8,000 27,000 216,000
4 1,464 5,062 16,000 81,000 1,296,000
5 1,610 7,593 32,000 243,000 7,776,000

I certainly can't guarantee any particular rate of return, and I certainly would not want you to expect to compound you money at a rate of 500% every year. . . but in this book you can read testimonials from people who are enjoying returns on their vending investments far in excess of 100%!

I'm sure you'd agree that AT LEAST 100% annual return is certainly possible and sustainable.

For EACH $1,000.00 you invest in the right machines. . . assuming you 'average' 100% annual rate of return or better on your money, and you reinvested all your profits in more machines. . . just look what you'd have in only 5 years. . . $32,000.00 worth of vending equipment making you $32,000.00 in cash per year!

Suppose (after you prove to yourself that this actually works, and it can) you invest several thousand more dollars? And what if you could average higher than 100% as others have done? It starts to get even more exciting, doesn't it?

The truth is you'd be doing FANTASTIC even if you only did half that well. . . yet there is a real possibility of doing even better!

You see, it IS possible to reach your dreams of financial independence even starting with a small investment.

If you're willing to do what it takes, and give it a little time, YOU CAN DO IT! Start big or start small, but START!

There's Opportunity With. . .

  • Glass front snack vendors
  • Hot food and popcorn vendors
  • Hot and cold drink, and juice vendors
  • Amusement machines
  • Honor snack and drink systems
  • Unique and 'hard to find' equipment
  • Bulk vendors
  • 'Fun-size' vendors
  • Sticker and sports card vendors
  • Personal Products
  • Coin changers and bill (currency) acceptors
  • Reconditioned used equipment

There's Nothing Like Owning Your Own Business!

You'll never tire of the prosperity and freedom that comes only with owning your own business. Being your own boss means that ONLY YOU have control of your time and your life. . . your destiny!

Besides all the obvious advantages of owning your own VENDING business in particular. . . a small business is generally recognized as the best:

Tax Shelter For The Common Man!

Are you tired of looking at the big chunk the government takes out of your paycheck?

40 years ago a middle class family paid about 2% of its earnings to pay all taxes (income and other). . . today you work past lunch time just to pay these taxes (which are in excess of 60%). Didn't we use to call involuntary servitude SLAVERY?

The TAX BENEFITS for people who own their own vending business is amazing!

You could enjoy enormous tax savings since many expenses may now be deductible: Car, telephone, office in home, travel and entertainment, etc.

One of the most FANTASTIC BENEFITS is the ability to expense equipment as allowed by section 179 of the I.R.S. Code. Normally, vending equipment is depreciated over about 7 years (even though the actual useful life can be up to 20 years or more). This means that 1/7th of the cost of your machines is tax deductible each year for 7 years!

But section 179 also allows you to expense (fully deduct) the cost of up to $10,000.00 worth of vending machines each and every year!

A $10,000.00 tax shelter! This means you can buy up to $10,000.00 in equipment each year and offset the tax you WOULD have had to pay on $10,000.00 in OTHER business income or wages earned! What a BONANZA!

All CASH Business!

"All cash" means many things. . . and different things to different people. Primarily, it means:

  • No collection problems or expenses (bad checks, uncollectible accounts, costs of billing and collection, etc.). This is a HUGE advantage.
  • Financial privacy. . . to whatever degree you choose.

The financial privacy issue is controversial if you extend it to the point of not reporting income to tax collection agencies.

While I do not necessarily ADVISE anyone to pocket their vending cash profits. . . not reporting it on tax returns. . . it is a simple fact of life that most vending operators do not claim either part, or all of their income from vending machines. Many people consider this unethical. . . and many others consider this a big advantage of the vending business. You decide.

This is an all cash business, so what you report is a personal decision you will have to make based upon your own personal belief system. . . your views regarding the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of our government and it's tax laws. . . your personal assessment as to the risks of getting caught. . . and the consequences if caught.

Many books have been written on this subject alone, and a detailed discussion is beyond the scope of this book. See "Freedom Technology" below, and the chapter titled "Route Management" under the section titled "Handling Cash".

Freedom Technology

The term 'Freedom Technology' certainly INCLUDES the vending business and tax issues, which is why I'm mentioning it here. . . but so VERY MUCH MORE.

Definition

The PRACTICAL means to live free, and prosper, in an increasingly unfree world.

It has evolved primarily as a result of invasive government...and the information revolution. And although not highly publicized in the mainstream media, it is actually an explosive and exciting new growth industry! It's important to note that:

Freedom Technology does not challenge or threaten the authority of any legitimate government or law.

I have found that people around the world, and Americans in particular, are absolutely 'starved' for Freedom Technology, but that it has been difficult to come by until now.

The rich have been doing much of this for years. Isn't it about time we all started?

Freedom Technology will help you to increase your personal and financial freedom, privacy, and your wealth.

If you're not sure you understand the need for Freedom Technology, read the chapter titled "Getting Started" under the section titled "Your Business Organizational Structure". It's also discussed further in the chapter titled "Route Management" under the section titled "Handling Cash".

If any of this interests you, and you want to learn more (which I highly recommend to everyone) please contact my company (Bill Way's FREEDOM TECHNOLOGY) and ask for a complimentary copy of the 'Freedom Technology Report.'
