Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
how does the vending machine business work?
In terms of business model, where does the revenue flow to and from?
- Do corporate offices typically pay vending machine operators to put in and service machines or do operators pay corporate offices? How willing are offices usually to having machines put in? What are decision criteria used in selecting machines?
- Do offices ever "buy" the machines? Or it is usually rented?
- ANSWER:
  Nomally the business gets a cut from the vendor. The vendor owns and operates/stocks/repairs, the machines and pay the store or business owner a small cut to let the machine be there.
QUESTION:
How much should I pay a business who lets me have my Vending Machine on their property?
I am starting a vending machine business. I am writing up a proposal for my home owners association to ask if I can put in a vending machine in the pool area. This vending machine will get a lot of action in the summer months. When it is colder weather I imagine we will have less traffic; we will get the kids from the nearby school and people going to the gym. Should I offer them a percentage of my profit or a monthly fixed amount? If a fixed amount, how much?
- ANSWER:
  Having a vending machine in the pool area is an amenity which benefits the HOA, and it should be presented as such. Whatever electricity you use is offset by the extra benefit to the organization. I would not offer any payment to them. If they ask for payment, reiterate the benefit they will receive. If they insist, offer a fixed amount that will just cover their electricity.
QUESTION:
How can I successfully operate a vending machine business?
I'm thinking about starting out with the smaller machines with products like gumballs, small toys.. the machines that you put a quarter or fifty cents in and you get a small handful of candy. are these machines profitable? What setbacks might i come upon? Any tips would be helpful. If anyone else owns a vending machine business, I would greatly appreciate it if we could talk. Thanks!

QUESTION:
How hard is it to get into the vending machine business?
I have been thinking abot getting into the vending machine business. It looks like a good thing for me to get into but I wanted to see how it was for anyone that has already been in it?
- ANSWER:
  It's all location, location, location. You're going to be up against some big competition from established vending companies that have sometimes hundreds of machines in tons of locations.
  
  I would start small. Find a great location that doesn't already have a machine. A busy break room at a smaller company or business is one of the best places to start. Next you'll need a machine...the combo drink/snack machines are a great place to start. Also, bulk machines...such as candy/nuts/mints that you pay a quarter for a handful. Keep in mind that you don't want to have your machine somewhere it could get vandalized or broken into.
QUESTION:
what are the upfront costs of a vending machine business?
I'm looking to start a vending machine business that could hopefully go to 26 different cities across the country.
- ANSWER:
  Startup Costs: ,000 - 0,000

Coffee Vendor Machine

By on May 8, 2012 in Vending Business

Cleaning your coffee maker is not a hard task to accomplish and in fact it's as easy as making coffee. All you have to do is pour a pot of half vinegar and half water into the coffee maker's water reservoir. It goes without saying that white vinegar should be used. Steer clear of the red wine or apple cider vinegar varieties. Then just turn on the regular brew cycle. You're kitchen will probably have a nice salad smell while it's brewing which you may even like. If you're not a salad fan though, just remember that it's a small price to pay for a good cup of coffee.

Now rinse the coffee maker out by using only water this time in the water reservoir and running the brew cycle again. You may have to do this a few more times if you still smell vinegar.

Another easy way to keep the coffee maker clean is to put a glass marble in the water chamber. All the mineral deposits that would usually accumulate inside the coffee maker will instead accumulate on the marble. Every once in a while just remove the marble, wash it and then place it back in the chamber. How much easier could that be?

The best solution would be to clean your coffee maker with vinegar monthly while also using the marble method. Change the marble once a week and you're coffee maker will be in great shape.

If you have an old coffee maker and you aren't happy with the taste of it's brew, why not try cleaning it. A clean coffee maker will brew better tasting coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
Do you know of a coffee vending machine that will literally pay for it's self?
I am looking to share profits with a vendor or pay a small rental fee each month to have a coffee vending machine in an office setting. Do you have any ideas?
- ANSWER:
  Not sure, but that is a pretty good idea. I would purchase one now that you've brought it up.
QUESTION:
Vendor refuses to remove machine from my office while I dispute our contract. Help!?
I work at an office, and we contract our coffee service out through a vendor. Our machine broke last week, and despite that I called for three days to get them to come out and fix it, they just send a technician out yesterday. It broke again this morning.

The terms and condition of my contract with them says that I can terminate the contract if I feel the vendor has not performed or has unsatisfactorily performed the contract. When I told them I wanted to terminate my contract based on this condition, and that I'd like our coffee machine to be picked up, they refused. They said our account will just go to collections, but they would not take the machine.

What should I do? Isn't this against the law somehow? Are they just trying to skirt the issue?

Thank you!
- ANSWER:
  Why are you arguing on the phone? If your contract really states this, send them a written notice of termination citing the applicable section of the contract.
  
  Sounds more like you have a disagreement in interpreting the terms of the contract.
QUESTION:
Coffee Vendor Information.?
How do you find a vendor that provides your pots and machines if you sell their coffee? Anyone have a website? Ogden, Utah.
- ANSWER:
  I have a website that sells the world's first healthy coffee: www.javawindscafe.com
QUESTION:
Does anyone know of a coffee distributing company for offices?
Currently my company orders from Coffee Distributors Corp. where we rent the machines and buy coffee from. We were interested in other vendors that are near the NYC - area. Any ideas? Thank you.

QUESTION:
Can a civillian purchase a breathalyzer machine?
My girlfriend is a social drinker. But her drinking when we are out and have to drive somewhere concerns me. Sometimes we will go to meet her friends at parties or meet someplace that she knows. She insists on taking her car. Then she drinks like a fish. Granted she seems to hold her alcohol well.
But what if she gets pulled over and a police officer catches her on a DUI? Or what if we get into an accident and there is a cop there that smells her breath?
If I had a breathalyzer, I could test her and tell her "look this says you are over the limit" and tell her to either get a cup of coffee, rest for an hour and retake the test, or let me drive home and give me the keys.
Can a civillian purchase a breathalyzer machine? How much do they cost generally? Please include links to vendors.
I think a breathalyzer that can show that she's over the limit can be more convincing. She's the type of woman that can put away a considerable amount of drinks very fast. She will say that she's stopped drinking and then she switches from a cocktail, mixed drink to beers. Then she says "beer is my go to drink. I can drink beers all night and not feel a thing." So that's what I'm dealing with. She doesn't drink coffee to sober up. She drinks a few beers and then has another cocktail later on.

Vending Business

By on May 8, 2012 in Vending Business

As the largest and most demanding multibillion dollar industry in the world, the food industry can provide jobs, opportunities and potential profits for millions of people worldwide. People who are dedicated, patient and hard-working may find that the food industry is the best place for them to start their own business as a food vendor. Choose from any number of foods, such as shaved ice, pastries, hot dogs, burgers, fries and so much more.

Food vendors are also known as street vendors, as their usual customers are always on the go and in a hurry to eat and run. As a food vendor, your main priority is to satisfy your impatient customers' demands quickly and efficiently while still maintaining a high quality standard in your food and service. Food vendors are also expected to be prepared for rush hours, just like any other business. You can prepare various products and keep them hot for instant delivery, but keep in mind that the longer food sits there, the lower the quality will become. A good food vendor knows how to time their food products just in time for the rush of customers.

Once you have decided what type of food(s) you would like to sell, you will need to go in search of the right equipment to prepare and serve this food. For example, if you are going to sell shaved ice, you will need some sort of cart or stand that will attract attention to your business. You will also need a shaved ice machine, a variety of syrup flavors, cups, spoons or straws, and napkins.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
Vending business?
I am considering starting a vending business. Does any one

know where to find cheap machines? Also does any one know

if the vending business is successful and any other tips you

can give would be appreciated.
- ANSWER:
  Well one pitfall you should watch out for is cheap machines, because sometimes what looks like a good deal is just a piece of junk machine that is being marketed as something amazing. Perfect example of that are those mechanical combos, which the marketers will tell you are great because you don't have to worry about motors going bad on you, but what they don't tell you is that no decent location will accept them, so they just end up taking up space in your garage. Also from my experience the motors on the electronic machines rarely go bad. My suggestion would be to talk to a local machine distributor, I know with my new clients I kind of hold their hand and help them understand the business so they succeed, because I want to sell them more machines down the line.
QUESTION:
Vending Business?
Do you own or know anyone who owns a Vending business? Is it successful? I'm thinking about purchasing 30 gumball/candy machines. The price of the machines includes a 10 year warranty and locations for all the machines. Is this a good business to get into? I'm not looking to get rich but I would like to earn some extra income. How much can these quarter machines make a month?
- ANSWER:
  Well Based on the vending times which is considered an authority on numbers in our business the Bulk candy machines you are talking about will do about 206 dollars per year gross, which is less then 20 dollars per month, are those the kind of numbers they promised you? The first thing you should do is go around your town and see how much competition you have, because with bulk candy machines those "locator's" will not kick out the other vendors machines, they will put yours right next to theirs and most of the times it will be places where more then one machine is a waste of money, such as dry cleans and video rental places, which don't really get many kids. Check out the web site below, they will give you a little intro into the business.
QUESTION:
How can I find business locations in the Arizona area that need vending machines?
I live in Phoenix AZ. 85022 and I am starting my snack/soda combo vending business. I have machines with 19 snack and 5 can drink selections. I must have faxed 500 businesses so far in the arizona area and I can't get one location. I am trying to find businesses that have at least 50 employees or more and a lot of foot traffic. I have 10 vending machines and I want to make between ,000 to ,000 net income each month from the 10 machine/10 locations. Please I am stuggling to find locations. I need a good lead. I need someone to help me find businesses in my area that need vending machine that I can service for free for them. Email me let me know. Thanks
- ANSWER:
  You need to advertise. Make letters and send them out to places. Offices building, schools, stores, libraries, etc...
QUESTION:
How can I start a vending business? Looking for serious answers?
Im looking into starting a vending business. Need some tips for start-up.
- ANSWER:
  You should probably start it from scratch.
  
  If you could get yourself some know-how on the mechanism of vending machines, and if you get yourself a trip to Home-Depot and you have some basic tools at home, I would recommend you best to just create 5 or 6 vending machines from scratch, sign up your business and go out there to retailers and tell them to give you a shot for a cut of the deal.
  
  Really. I REALLY REALLY REALLY believe that you should just make them from scratch if that's what you want to do.
  
  Franchisers will only LIMIT your area, be the MIDDLE MAN from what you are going to make (AFTER you pay your merchants), and sell you a basic idea for a lot of cash that you could be using to be YOUR OWN boss instead.
  
  Get the know-how, do a little weekend wood- or metal-work, and register the business under your own name.
  
  An added benefit: cut the dumb, stereotypical vending machines out. Create one that looks neat. The neater it is, the more attention it will get, and that more money you're likely to get.
  
  Do you know all those Gorillas or Supermans or other full-size sculptures that some stores put right at their store front?
  
  Do one of those and stick your vending mechanism in the stomach of the sculpture.
  
  The kids will flock to it. It will be visible. And more money will pour in.
  
  And don't just sell gum. Try something different - Beef jerky, bananas, something new each day - even.
QUESTION:
Do people make money in the vending business?
Is it possible to make money in the vending business? Do you make a decent amount every month? What's your story?
- ANSWER:
  I don't have any first hand information on this, but by watching how much money goes into those machines on a regular basis....I'd say that they do make good money.

Start A It Company

By on May 7, 2012 in Vending Business

You have spent a lot of time, money and energy getting your new technology through the product development, pre-clinical science and regulatory pathways. You are gearing up for market launch. You have a fine stable of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) on board; a strong training and education program for new users; and you are covering all the bases of brand building: sales collateral development, website presence and a targeted tradeshow program.

Your biggest decision now is selecting the best structure for your new sales team. While the traditional independent sales-rep organization has lots of benefits, the idea of having a legion of able-bodied men and women waking up everyday focused only on driving sales for your company is awfully tempting.

There may be no "right" answer to this conundrum, and even if there is, it may not be readily apparent. There are a number of factors that deserve consideration when you are weighing out your options. We are going to discuss nine (9) of the most critical ones in this article. So, let's get started:

1. Accessibility to Customer - Who makes the buying decision? If you are selling to physicians, you already know getting face-time with your customer can be your biggest challenge. If your buyer is a surgeon, the accessibility challenge goes up exponentially. A new face showing up in the clinic for "a minute" of the doctor's time will have her work cut out for her. If rapid penetration is an important part of your business plan, you may be better off with an independent sales person who already has a relationship with the doctor as well as all of the support staff and "gatekeepers." You may be able to "buy" this accessibility in a well-seasoned direct rep, but experienced sales reps with years of relationship building under their belts come with a hefty price tag.

2. Cost - Independent sales reps only get paid when they have sold your product. With this model you have no fixed cost as you are paying the rep from sales proceeds. A direct sales team is quite a different story. First, you have a base salary due to your sales reps each month whether they sell or not. On top of salary, you will typically fund their expenses including car (or mileage) and some meals and entertainment. In order to be competitive you will likely be paying health insurance, vacation days, 401k expenses and more. Conversely, independent sales reps are contract personnel, and almost always cover their own expenses. In general, independent representation is the more cost-effective way to launch a new company. Once the company reaches a certain revenue threshold it often becomes less costly to field a direct sales team.

3. Compensation Potential - Related to cost is potential income level for the sales rep. Top independent sales reps may make very high six-figure incomes. An average for surgical sales reps today is over 0,000. As we all know, there is a huge variation in sales rep effectiveness and revenue production. If you are aiming to have above-average, seasoned sales reps selling your product, you can figure that you will be competing for that talent with other companies who want the same thing, and you will need to budget for a high compensation plan. If your product or service lends itself to a more "entry-level" sales team you can staff up with a direct sales force much more economically. Perhaps your target recruits are candidates who have done well in non-medical sales and want to make the transition to medical sales.

please answer what you can, dont spare me the details anad if you can leave me some helpful websites!!

thank you!!!!
- ANSWER:
  1. Get a bachelor's degree.
  2. Get an MBA.
  3. Work for at least 5 years as a Producer or Lead Designer at an established game studio.
  4. Save up enough money for you and your family to live off of for at least 2 years (you won't get paid for a loooong time).
  5. Quit your job. Declare yourself the sole member of your new game studio.
  6. Write a business plan.
  7. Meet with investors. You'll need to raise ~0,000 before you can start hiring anyone, and you'll need ~ million to complete your first game. Adjust these figures for inflation once you complete steps 1 - 3.
  8. Once you have investors, start hiring people for your company.
  9. Make good games that people will buy.
  10. Continue to talk to investors for the rest of your company's life -- until you are bought by a larger company, grow large enough to have an IPO, or have to close down the company.
  
  That's it, in 10 not-so-easy steps. Steps 2 and 3 could be switched, but not at the expense of 4.

How To Start A Own Business

By on May 7, 2012 in Vending Business

Businesses are all the same including how to own a clothing store. Basically it does not matter what type of store one owns, the business aspects all remain the same and are relatively equal. There are typical business aspect such as taxes and inventory to consider as well as labor costs and maintenance fees too. Lets take a look at some business costs that would specifically pertain to a clothing store.

Lets start with location. Location is everything and can be the main difference between the store becoming a success or a failure. For an example, if the store is located in a shopping mall, then odds are that it may become a success. However, the costs will certainly be much higher than they would at a stand alone location. But, the traffic that is included with the mall is a distinct advantage too. Now, if the store is located as a stand alone, that does not necessarily mean that it will become a failure. It does however, mean that the owner will be required to work a bit harder in order to generate the required traffic. If the stand alone location has good access points, then this will certainly assist the owner. But, if the store is off the beaten path, then odds are that the store will certainly have a very hard time generating self sufficient sales.

Now, lets consider inventory. This would pertain to everything that is for sale. From tops and blouses to pants and skirts. Is there a specialty at you potential store such as retro type clothing? This will certain assist the bottom line in most stores regardless of location. A good thing for a potential owner to do would be to read the latest fashion magazines and see what is hot and what is not. Also, consider taking a walk around the local mall and see exactly what some of the younger generation is wearing. This will give you an indication of the type of inventory that you may want to consider. It would always pay for a potential clothing store owner to stay abreast of the latest fads and trends. This will most certainly increase sales. Why sell new style clothing when retro type clothing is flying off the shelves? Now for the harder aspects. These are the taxes and labor costs that are associated with any basic store. Paying a person to work for you is an absolute necessity. There will be times when you will be required to leave the store and you do not want to close the doors and lose out on a potential sale. That is what your labor is all about. But, it can also be a large part of your profit too. This will be a personal decision that an owner will have to make.

As far as taxes and insurance is concerned, lets leave that up to the lawyers and accountants which coincidentally, all business owners should have.

Therefore, this is a basic overview on how to own a clothing store and should at least point one in the right direction.

QUESTION:
How is the best way to get a government grant to start own business?
we want to start our own business and want to know the best way to get fully funded for around ,000? Dont want to have to pay anything out of pocket to start want a full government grant. thanks
- ANSWER:
  It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
  
  One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.
  
  Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups -- minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples include
  
  Iowa Women's Foundation http://www.iawf.org/
  New Mexico Women's Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.html
  
  Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html
  
  "The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
  
  Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
  
  Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.
  http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show
  
  Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
  
  Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
  
  I suggest you read the following books to get ideas of how to finance your business:
  
  Financing Your Small Business http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572484500/powerhomebizguid
  Small Business Financing: How and Where To Get It http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0808007386/powerhomebizguid

  Financing Your Small Business (Barron's Business Library Series) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764124897/powerhomebizguid
  
  For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website (.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

QUESTION:
I am a civil eng who would like to start own business as a construction materials supplier?
I dont know how to start, my idea was to get some brochures from manufacturers then call up local contractors to offer them those materials at the manuf. prices plus commission, but then i thought a contractor can go straight to the manufac. My other idea was to contact international manufac who dont have representatives here and offer them to market and sell their products here in quebec for a commision. Please help with some ideas. thanks
Thanks your answer basically responded to everything that was in mind
- ANSWER:
  I have been a civil engineer 32 years and know some suppliers. It takes money and contacts to start your own construction materials business.
  
  Consider these questions.
  1. Do you know a lot of contractors? Remember that they all presently have someone they buy their products from.
  2. Do you have a good knowledge of the producte that you want to sell? The Contractors will sometimes depend on you to help them get the right materials.
  3. Are you familiar with local bid laws and how private projects are bid? You will be assisting Contractors in these areas.
  
  There are many more questions. If you know the answers, great. If you don't, get a technical sales job so you can sell the products that you are interested in.
  
  Contractors usually develop a relationship with suppliers and depend on them for assistance. You need to become the person thay know and trust.
  
  Please be ethical though. It is not right to try to develop clients for yourself while you are working for someone else. Do a good job for your employer just like you will want your employees to do a good job for you.

QUESTION:
How do I start my own business as a digital photographer in a small town without going to college?
I am an amature digital photographer who has a lot of natural talent and would love to start my own business as a digital photographer without going to college. I want to do nature, outdoor, portrait, and artistic digital photography for people or businesses where I live in Kalispell, Montana. I have already taken over 200 outdoor digital photographs to build my own portfolio so my future clients can see my talent and skill with a digital camera. What I need to do now is market my skills and talents, find a need and demand for digital photographers in my town, find clients, and make a living with my own digital photography business. Does anybody have any good advice or suggestions for me? Please let me know. Thanks!
- ANSWER:
  Get a website. Create a portfolio. Create an advertising sheet, perhaps with a collage of your best photos. Title it, including your # and business name. Many cafe's (starbucks) have bulletin boards, post them there. Ask other small businesses if you can place these in their windows.
  
  My friend just did this, in a very small town in Oregon. She is already starting to get some interest.
QUESTION:
How hard is it to start your own business? Is there any business you can do from home?
I have always wanted to have my own business. Is there any business me and my husband can start from our own home? We just had our second child and can't afford to buy or rent a building of our own just yet. And NOT babysitting. I have enough kids of my own. I would really like something we can do together. Cooking, crafts, etc. How do you get people or stores to sell your buy/sell your stuff?
- ANSWER:
  Starting a business is easy, making it successful and profitable, now there lies the rub.
  It should be something you do extremely well and there is little or no competition (a niche).
  Usually the less it costs to get into, the more other people will try to do it too. You gotta stick out and advertise it well.
QUESTION:
How do I start my own business in personal bookkeeping & small business bookkeeping?
I have years of experience in accounting and finance. I would like to open my own business providing bookkeeping to small businesses and individuals who aren't able to handle their own finances. How do I advertise and where do I go to get started?
- ANSWER:
  That is a very good question...I am in the process of trying to start a bookkeeping business myself and finding clients is the hardest part. Here are a few ideas that may help:
  
  Get a business phone line and list your business in the yellow pages under bookkeeping or accounting services. Even if you are working out of a home office you can have a line added.
  
  If you community has a paper that is distributed for free be sure to place an ad in it. Usually papers like this are cheaper to advertise in that the regular newspaper. There are many self-employed people that advertise in this type of paper.
  
  Become a member of your local Chamber of Commerce.
  
  Contact local CPA offices and let them know you are available if their clients need a bookkeeper or if they become busy and need some extra help.
  
  Be sure to tell everyone you know that you are doing bookkeeping.
  
  Become a Quickbooks Pro Advisor and get listed on their website. You can add to your services by setting up Quickbooks for new businesses. Just because a company uses Quickbooks doesn't mean they wouldn't want you to file their payroll and sales taxes.
  
  Get a website. You can offer your services to people outside your area.
  
  Send out professional looking tri-fold brochures to people advertising for bookkeepers in the newspaper.
  
  Keep business cards on hand to pass out to people you come into contact with.
  
  Place a business card on the board at the grocery store.
  
  Contact small business owners and ask them who does their bookkeeping. Real estate agents, lawn care businesses, painters, farmers, etc.
  
  Good luck!
QUESTION:
How do I start my own internet business?
I am completely new at starting my own business. I want to start selling items off the internet. What is some good information that can help me start my own business? Do I need the go to business course in college or get a license?
- ANSWER:
  You don't NEED to take business classes, but if you want to begin a business, I really recommend taking at least one business class at the local community college. That way, you can know the negatives and positives of business and get some background on the process of owning a business.
  
  To have a legitimate business, you need AT LEAST these 4 things.
  1. DBA (doing business as) or FBN (fictitious business name)- so that you don't need to do business under your name. Then you will need to get it printed in the local newspaper for 4 consecutive weeks.
  2. EIN (employee id number)- so that you do not need to use your own social security number.
  3. Seller's Permit/ Tax ID- so that you can purchase wholesale and your state can collect their tax.
  4. Business license
  (all in that order).
  
  Get your domain (www.yourname.com). You can get this from godaddy.com for a year.
  
  Getting the actual website will be the hardest part. You have three options.
  1. Make it yourself.
  2. Use a premade template.
  3. Hire a designer.
  
  I highly suggest hiring a designer. This is why:
  1. Unless you know html coding, it will be nearly impossible to create your own website.
  2. Templates are not very customizable.
  3. Templates may end up looking unprofessional.
  Those are the reasons I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many other reasons.
  Hiring a designer has its positives.
  For one, you will be working with a professional! This person will hopefully work with you until the site is up to your standards. A designer will give the site a more professional and unique feel, etc.
  Finding a designer is a very difficult process.
  If you aren't any good with codes, make sure that the designer offers an admin spot where you can easily update the site with out coding knowledge.
  Its always great when the shopping cart is included in the one time fee. Most shopping carts are about a month and increase as you add more products to your site.
  It ends up getting ridiculous!! Some designers offer you a one time fee for the use of their shopping cart.
  Then, you will need a web host. Some designers will recommend a site for you to use. In any case, you should always check with the designer before choosing a host, because some hosting services do not work well with the shopping cart your designer provides.
  
  You will also need a merchant account to accept payment from customers.
  You can use a place such as authorize.net or Paypal (which no longers requires that customers make an account and accepts credit cards).
  
  Of course, you will need to think of what products you will be selling.
  Where will you get them?
  Who is your target market?
  What is your price range?
  etc.
  
  Good Luck!!!
QUESTION:
How do I start my own business? What is a good business to start?
I am a college student and I currently work at a grocery store. Thinking about the way life is, I realized that having your own business may be challenging but rewarding.

So I want to know, how easy is it to open a small business, and how much money will I need? Also, I am not sure what is a good business to open? I have always dreamt of having a coffee/book/music shop, but I am not sure how easy/expensive/successful that would be.

Please throw some ideas at me.
- ANSWER:
  The location and appearance is one of the most important thing.Imagine opening a shop with no design at all, customer wont get interested.Of course, there will be difficulties and talking about cash, its hard to say and the same thing goes to succession

How To Business Start

By on May 6, 2012 in Vending Business

Biography Speaker Consultant Author Media Source Contact Upcoming ...

Have you ever dreamed of serving your own delicious food to a group of customers who are eager to savor every single bite?

If you have, then you're in good company. Many people have the dream of starting a home catering business using nothing more than the great ideas they have swimming around in their head. While it's possible to create a catering business from scratch, there are some things you need to know before getting your feet wet in this highly profitable business.

Focus Your Catering Business Ideas

I'm sure you've got lots of ideas floating around in your head about all the various recipes you love to cook, and how you'd prepare them for your potential clients. Take a minute to sit and focus on more than just the things you enjoy cooking.

Keep in mind that you're going to have lots of competition from more experienced caterers who may already have a big list of loyal clients.

How are you going to stand out from the crowd and get noticed?

The first thing you should think about is what niche you want to fill. Being a Jack-of-all-trades is nice, but as a startup, it's not going to get you a lot of attention. It's much easier to pick a specialty to offer.

For example, a niche could be: small weddings, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, business events, college events, dinner parties, etc.

Or, you can specialize in a certain type of food like vegetarian, lunch menu or fancy desserts. The important thing for you to remember is that specializing in one area will make your small business a lot easier to market. You can become well known for your specialty and win loyal clients for yourself.

Local Health Department Requirements

Many local health departments have become pretty strict when it comes to home catering businesses. You may not be allowed to prepare food in your home kitchen. Instead, you may have to use a separate location like an industrial kitchen or home garage to work out of. Is this something you can handle?

A great idea is to purchase a small trailer, van or motor home and convert it into a professional catering kitchen that passes all state and local regulations. This can be a business on wheels and you won't have to alter your own property or rent out a big kitchen.

Be sure to check on all your local and state health department regulations before you officially open for business.

What to Name Your Business

When it comes to business names, it's time to get a little creative. Joan's Catering isn't going to bring you much attention. You want a name that's going to make someone take a second look at your ad, brochure or business card.

Here's some examples:

*Elite Pantry Desserts

*Vegetarian Delight Catering

*Mom's Comfort Catering

*Wedding Food Wonders

Whatever name you pick, make sure you go to your local county clerk's office and officially register it and get a business license.

Write out a Business Plan

You don't have to write a book, just sketch out a few ideas on paper. You need to have an idea of what type of business you're going to run. Figure out how much money you're going to need to get started. What type of equipment you'll need and how you plan to market your business.

Are you going to have a website? I hope so, because this can advertise your business for you 24/7 without you doing anything except handing out a business card.

Yes, there's a lot to think about when planning out a catering business, but you don't need to try and think of everything on your own. There are some excellent guides that can show you how to start a catering business from your home. With a little research and ingenuity, you can soon be sharing your mouthwatering food with delighted customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
How do I start a dog boarding business?
I am 12, and I want to start a dog boarding business. Its not just going to be my business, but the family's since my Dad got fired, and my Mom gets paid very little. What I want to know is, how much should I charge, how to get my business started, and what would i need?? Thanks!
- ANSWER:
  And what makes you think "the family" would be successful in opening and running such a business? The economy SUCKS right now - it's hard enough to get a job at an established company, darn near impossible (in some places) to start your own.
  
  Does anyone in the family have any experience working in a boarding kennel? Any experience running a business of any kind? Has everyone taken business classes as well as pet first aid classes? What professional can vouch for the families knowledge of dog behavior, training, handling, and care?
  
  Before you even start THINKING about rates and fees, you need to find a place that you can convert to a safe and reliable kennel. It won't be easy. Needs to be a commercial zoned property and it needs to be located in an area where you CAN kennel dogs - you're looking at a hundred grand easily right there just for a property, not including any construction.
  
  Then you have to have the kennels built properly, utilities installed and set up, and the property inspected. Then you have to incorporate or claim your business name and register with the county. You'll need a butt load of insurance. You'll need a lawyer to help write up legal documents and contracts.
  
  Does mom/dad agree to this little venture? Something tells me "no".
QUESTION:
How do I start a business (from scratch)?
I would like to start a photo-editing business where people would pay my business to edit their photos.

I need to know the points, tips, warnings and how-to's.

I've already got professional website building software what I pay for so there is no need to mention that one

Which resources will I need?
Anything I need to jot down and plan?

Much appreciated.

QUESTION:
How does a business start excepting credit cards that has never taken credit cards before ?
we have a small business and want to start excepting credit cards as payment but don't know where to start ?? do I call the bank or visa or master card ??
- ANSWER:
  You need a merchant service account. There are many companies out there that can provide this for you. I would search google for "merchant services" this should give you a lot of choices. Be careful though! The merchant service industry makes there money trying to confuse their clients. There are different rates for swiping a card or punching the numbers in manually. If a customer uses a reward card you are going to pay a higher rate. You MUST shop these rates against at least three companies. Good Luck!
QUESTION:
How Easy is it to get a Business start up loan?
I am looking to start my own small business. The business will be curchasing computer equipment and reselling parts and refurbished products.
I have 3+ years experience, and about K of my own money, and good credit. I also own my home, but with the housing market in a slump I may owe more on it than it is worth at the moment.
I would need an additional K-100K to start up.
With the economy the way it is, what are the chances I will get the kind of loan I need to get this business off the ground?
- ANSWER:
  Start up business loans are difficult to come by. But the common sources of start up business loans are the 3 F’s, which are Friends, Family, and.... Fools. I can’t help you with the first two, but I have some ideas on the last one. Of course, these people are not really fools, but sane people who are more willing to take risks on start up business loans than traditional banks are. These are known as venture capitalists or angels.
QUESTION:
How can I get a business start up loan on bad credit?
Im 20 years old. Tired of working 60 hrs a week for a company who couldnt care less about me. I want to be free of this, and start my own ethical business. I am a great computer technition. I want to open a computer repair shop, but i have bad personal credit, due to a few missed payments. What do you recommend for me to do, to get a business loan with my type of situation.
- ANSWER:
  Dear Friend,
  
  You have bad credit, so it is very difficult to take a loan may be other bank can help you. In this situation you friends or family members can also help you.
  
  You can do one more thing to start your independent business. Just make contact with small business people like school administrator, collage administrators, coaching centers, computer hardware shops, computer software shops and small companies who use computers in their work and offer them your services in competitive price. work for them as a contract basis not time basis. Give them your contact number when they need you they can call you. In this way you start your business and grow you clientele without any investment.

How To Get Business Online

Getting paid to scrapbook isn't as easy as people think. It's true that a scrapbooking business doesn't require as much capital funds as other Internet businesses. But that doesn't mean you'll immediately have money pouring in. If you wish for your scrapbooking home based business to work, you need to think of it just like any other Internet business and devote to it a lot of your time and effort.

5 Ways to Get Paid to Scrapbook
If you don't possess ALL of the following characteristics then it's very unlikely that you're suited to successfully run a scrapbooking home based business or even to just get paid to scrapbook.

Imagination / Creativity - Although you can make templates of your designs, some or many of them will soon run out of favor with your clients. These designs will have to be "retired" and replaced with something new, and herein lie the most important question: are you sure you can consistently create new, attractive, and unique designs for your business?

Scrapbooking is an art. It's not a science. You need to show a flair for creativity for each and every aspect of your design. You need to be willing to explore the very limits of your imagination. So are you ready to do that?

Diligence and Patience - Scrapbooking is hard work. If you've been doing this for a long time, you should know that by now. But making a scrapbooking project for yourself and your loved ones is entirely different from doing a scrapbooking project for profit. There is no emotional motivation to ensure you work diligently on the project. Money and maybe a sense of achievement and pleasing someone are the only motivational factors you'll get, but are they enough for you?

Scrapbooking isn't governed by objectivity. It's an art, after all. In mathematics, you add one and one and get two. There's no other right answer than that. But in scrapbooking, what you may think is gorgeous may appear gaudy to others. There will be times that you and your customer will not be able to see each other eye to eye. When this happens, can you exhibit the required patience to see things through till the end of the project?

Pressure - Making scrapbooking projects can be high-pressured tasks. There's the deadline, for instance. Because you're creating scrapbooking projects for others and for profit, it's what they say that matters. Customers will always want a deadline: you have to give it to them and meet it. And of course there are the expectations from your customers: you need to ask clearly what they expect from you and determine if you're ready and able to meet all these.

Business Mind - Never forget that even if a scrapbooking home business allows you to earn money from your hobby or artistic talent, it is still essentially a business. A business can't survive if it doesn't profit. To obtain profit, your income must be more than your expenses.

Are you prepared to handle the business front of your scrapbooking business or will you have someone manage this aspect for you? Either way, you must be sure that your scrapbooking business can satisfy the following conditions.

Firstly, your scrapbooking must have competitive pricing. You must determine just how much you can reasonably charge for items. Determine how much would appeal to your target market. What other pricing strategies can you employ to attract more customers to your business?

Speaking of target markets, do you know who it is your scrapbooking home based business will best appeal to? For that matter, do you wish to work with a general market or carve a niche for yourself?

Someone has to handle the accounting aspect of your business if you're not prepared for it. Like other businesses, yours have to pay taxes regularly. Performing financial accounting will also let you know if you're earning or not.

Fourthly, determine your goals for the business. You must have vision and direction. You need to have something to work for because your business won't survive for long without a plan.

Last but certainly not the least, you need to develop and implement the necessary marketing strategies to make your scrapbooking business more well-known.

Internet Savvy - Home based businesses in general flourish and succeed more in the virtual world. If you want better ROI and greater access to the market, you need to develop your Internet marketing skills to create a formidable online presence for your scrapbooking business.

If you have all these then congratulations! You're definitely suited to having your own scrapbooking home based business!

When in facebook you may open up a Fan Page, and that allows you to post videos of your jewelry product or business demonstration, keep full updates about what kind of stuff you've there, make a business name for that page, etc. It is more professional than just having your personal page be where you market from.

  Facebook is my favorite social network to market on. It is quick, easy to send out post, can easily find people that share your interest etc. My company just started using Facebook a few months ago and have got more than 2000 followers .

Kenco Vending Machine

Table Top Hot Drinks Vending Machines London

A kenco singles coffee machine is a best option of serving coffee in the location such as airport, hospital, and office, where there are lots of people. It provides customers with a choice of cup sizes and will even dispense such items as stir sticks. Choice of condiments is dispensed right into the cup along with the coffee. These types of vending machines can be customized in order to meet various requirements of customers. This machine can dish out from five cups to one thousand cups per day. With coffee vending machine one can handle any size of coffee crowd.

Kenco Singles Coffee machines are available in various shape, sizes, color and price. These machines are a way to provide people who like their coffee with an option to keep caffeinated all day. These machines take money, allow for customized cream, sugar, and flavors option, dispense a paper or cardboard cup, and pour the liquid into the cup.

Coffee vending machines are available in various model and design. One can get a coffee machine that only dispenses coffee, cream, and sugar; or one can get a machine that does all that and also allows for different cup and corresponding volume sizes, varying levels of cream and sugar, or even lets the customer choose from a variety of gourmet brands. The kenco coffee machines offer larger cups of coffee than the older models. There are also better thermal and brewing systems in these coin-operated vending machines, which translate into offering customers a better cup of coffee for their money.

The traditional coffee vending machines consisted of a table top unit, push button to select the drink and a simple coin mechanism to enable money to be collected. The format still remains the same but the technology has improved and the taste of the drinks is far superior. Larger automatic machines still use different ingredient hoppers but the whole process is incorporated into a single one button operation that dispenses the coffee into the cup at a fixed position so that no manual intervention is required.

Modern and expensive office vending machines can offer fresh brew coffee and leaf tea options and serve fabulous tasty drinks. However the complicated brew process means that cleaning and maintenance is more involved and your service engineer will need to call more often. Machine, drink and service costs are all higher for fresh brew machines, so this needs to be taken into account.

Coffee machines are expensive, especially if you want one with the state of the art features. Instead of buying a new expensive machine, it would not be such a bad idea to buy used coffee machines. It would not only save some cash but also wouldn't make you feel guilty every time you want to change the machine. There are people who do change their coffee machines very frequently and it would be to your benefit to keep an eye open for such machines. They are often in new condition and have been used gently. Therefore, they are quite a bargain.

Used coffee machines are quite useful for those looking for commercial coffee machines or office coffee machines . The reason for this being that automatic machines used for commercial purposes are very expensive. If you are able to get a used coffee machine for half the original cost, it is quite a big saving and it makes sense for new businesses to find such ways to cut on initial outlay on expenses.

An office coffee machine is a must for every office as it not only saves time and boosts the morale of the employees but also improves productivity. When the staff has access to good coffee, why would they leave the office premises to get a cup of coffee? It has also been found that "in-house networking" occurs around the office coffee machine . Such a networking promotes teamwork and uplifts the quality of work. Frankly, who wouldn't appreciate the boss who takes care of his employees!!!

From the business point of view, the ideal solution would be an office coffee machine for the employees but without burning a hole in the employer's pocket. That is possible only when the coffee machine is either used or rental.

While buying used coffee machines , one has to look into a lot of things other than the price. Many sellers will actually offer a warranty on the machine as an assurance, particularly if it is being sold within the warranty period. If not, you may ask about the manufacturer's warranty.

QUESTION:
I need cups for a Coffee Vending Machine?
Hello! I was lucky enough to get a coffee vending machine for free on craigslist. And it totally works! However, I did not get any cups for the machine. It has an automatic cup dispenser and I assume it needs to be the right size.
The machine is a model RMI 850 LG CMS with serial number 81890.
I have tried to google cups for this but have had no luck. I would even appreciate a good place to look for cups or a number to call. Thanks!
- ANSWER:
  take down the name, make, and model number then call or write the company that produced the machine and they will tell you what product to buy or what could be substituted in its place.
  some times you could find the phone numbers on the web if you have the name of the company that made the product not only the serial number that doesn't always help you need both.
  i tried to research it for you but some of the information was not given so i could not complete my search.
