Vending business opportunities

Why Vending?

Vending machines provide a low-cost retail opportunity but, unlike a shop, vending machines do not require staff nor suffer from pilferage. What is more, they operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, so you continue to earn while you are on holiday, on the golf course and even when you are asleep! What is more, it is possible to maintain and service perhaps as many as 1,000 vending machines in your spare time after work or at weekends, so allowing you to earn additional income.

The vending business is a stable, long term market which still has great growth potential: there are many existing venues and new venues being built all the time that do not have vending machines installed in them, such as shopping centres, leisure centres, bars, hotels and veterinary and medical surgeries. Just think how many of these types of venues are within 1 hour's drive of your home.

However, the vending market is changing and there is a demand for a wider range of different, more exciting products requiring size and flexibility to adapt quickly to that change. A working relationship with Safe Hands can assist here.

Why Buy a Franchise...

There are many good reasons for buying a franchise:

Brand names;
Sales, operational and administrative support;
Training;
Capitalising on the work-experience of others;

and many good franchisors operating. However, this frequently only comes after significant capital outlay and signing a very restrictive contract. Furthermore, the "starter packages" might not reflect what seemed initially to be on offer:

Sites where "starter" machines are installed are low-grade, low-footfall;
Weekly collections are not as high as "promised" so return on investment is much lower and pay-back much longer;
Monthly "management fees" drain profitability;
Prices of stock and new vending machines are higher than can be obtained elsewhere;
Ranges of stock and vending machines are limited;
Territories are limiting.

..... When You Can Buy Direct?

If you are hard working and want to provide a first class service to your customers, you can build a successful, sustainable, long term business with real value without the initial outlay on franchise-fees and ongoing "management fees" you would pay to a franchisor.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Safe Hands offers the widest choice of machines available in the market and the most distinctive and exciting range of products. This gives us and you a huge competitive edge in the marketplace and it is why we are the quickest growing vending wholesale business in the UK. But with Safe Hands, there is no franchise fee, no restrictive contract (so you can buy machines and product from anyone), and no on-going management fees.

THE ROLE

As a vending machine operator you will have to develop and service new customers. In practice this means actively speaking to new customers, installing vending machines, collecting cash and restocking them. It does require discipline and hard work and you must be able to get face to face with customers in order to tell them about your service, but there are no restrictions on where you can operate or the products you can offer - remember, you are not tied to us in any way.

THE SUPPORT

From the earliest stages, the Safe Hands team is here for you, from initial training, to set-up support and ongoing assistance. Our goal is to help you be successful - after all if you are successful so are we! We do not charge a franchise fee or management fee for this, but we would charge a small contribution for our time and costs actually spent with you.
