Most Profitable, Relied-Upon, and Time- and Cost-Efficient Vending Machine Business #433

Vending | Business for Sale | Brisbane

Established for 14 years by the current owner, this is one of Brisbane's most profitable, relied-upon, and excellent time and cost efficient vending machine businesses. It also comes with one of the very best brand names (trademarked logo). With a total of 61 vending machines sited across a diversity of high-quality, high-yielding business sites, this business enjoys passive income mainly from many 'blue-collar' business clients. Their staff contribute to the high rates of energy drink, chocolate, chips, cold drink, and snack consumption per machine, keeping this business extra profitable! With a high value of equipment being transferred, this vending machine operator's refilling and service model surpasses most in the market. Making this one of the most efficient you'll find! This owner enjoys 50% (approx.) of his time within a home-based office, providing ultimate lifestyle benefits, and chooses to visit around 6 sites per week. The balance is visited by the full-time staff ... Come and enjoy this regularly received passive income and a lifestyle where the machines make you all the money, whilst remaining largely absent. It is easy to make even more money by expanding this solid income-generating system, matched to your level of motivation for growth!

  • After nearly a decade and a half of trading, this long-established and popular vending machine business offers hundreds of thousands of dollars in vending machine value (based on a conservative estimate), as well as sales revenues. Also includes vehicle and other assets with the transfer.
  • This high number of machines is situated and is making a very regular and pleasing income. There are only 6 lower volume sites, which offer the new owner the option to replace them with even more profitable site locations, over time – set to make even more money. This business is proud to admit that no site locator service has ever been used to increase the total number of quality client sites it supports today. New business sites have all converted by way of referral, word of mouth or based on brand history and a reputation for superior machine re-filling. Many of these clients have chosen to remain loyal for many years. Most sites provide ample income in their own right, 'standing tall' in terms of providing a high return on investment.
  • So, few site commissions are paid, yet another contributing factor to this being a high-yielding enterprise. This owner has the freedom to choose what he does or doesn't do.
  • All these long-term loyal business clients (averaging more than 5-7 years - approx.), enjoy receiving the high levels of responsive servicing and regular re-filling service. These vending machines are sited and re-filled for free, offering a convenience that clients, especially during this period of economic downturn, are turning to, to take the edge off. Instead of spending their money on snacks or lunch at their local café, they are saving money by putting it into the vending machines instead. They save money whilst still getting their sugar hit, satisfying their cravings or quelling their hunger.
  • The prices for products are not cheap, providing such pleasing and above industry average returns, and higher than average gross profit margins. As this business is not afraid to lift prices, it can confidently do so, due to the types of sites within its vast network. It also commands highly favourable, bulk-buying supplier deals, offering value and further discounts that move money straight to the bottom line - ever so effectively!
  • Currently, this vending machine business is large enough to warrant paying a full-time staff member to complete the majority of all refilling visits for the machines. Replace this staff member and pocket even more wage income, or continue to expand, by working on the business...
  • Operate this sizeable vending machine business, which provides ample potential for further sales and machine siting growth for any new owner, (no matter their prior experience or background).
  • This is even well-suited to an existing vending machine operation looking to immediately take over hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and take over these valuable client sites. These just keep generating passive income. All from the comfort, privacy and convenience of your own home-based office. This business does utilise an off-site storage facility.
  • This fast-growing community wants to buy these products repeatedly, as these types of food and drink are popular in the mainstream. These products are addictive and remain in high and constant demand. All the better for this business to continually post a healthy net profit!
  • With a higher-than-average gross profit margin relative to the national industry's benchmarks, this speaks volumes about this business's efficiencies, quality business sites, and high-volume-based 'supplier prices' offered this business. These large suppliers constantly vie for this business's purchasing dollar.
  • With this owner well beyond most people's retirement age, it is time for the next chapter; therefore, this business needs to be transferred to a new owner who can bring the renewed energy, enthusiasm, and passion to take the obvious steps towards achieving further growth and expansion. There are ample indicators that confirm this is your greater-than-average vending operation.
  • With a diverse product selection, great prices being paid by clients across its stocked product range (refer to the high gross profit margins, per product category). Request to review your own copy of this business's detailed business profile – email us now).
  • These existing clients rely heavily on combo vending machines (mainly refilled 5 days per week), and the refilling method is ultra-time- and labour-efficient. The machine's planograms guide easy refilling, and there are minimal machine breakdowns or callouts. This is due to siting the very best the vending industry offers, renowned brands and highest quality machines. The Brisbane market continues to grow fast – the population continues to swell! Take full advantage of this population movement by owning your very own vending company. After 14 years of ownership, this owner will tell you just how good it is to own this type of business investment – Now, reluctantly needing to transfer due to age and stage of life.
  • Having the right or best type of business sites, top-quality machines, supplier deals, and higher-than-average prices charged and paid by clients per machine means that even more money can be made consistently per supplier order and client vend transaction. This business provides ample passive income, with the vast majority coming from tap'n'go purchases, with funds deposited directly into this owner's bank account – which could be yours, and showing up in your bank account, soon!
  • There is still thousands of dollars of cash being received by the machines, and this business is now in need of a new operator who can add more machines and business sites. This retiring owner has no desire to expand this strong commercial base, as retirement is calling.
  • This quality vending machine business has experienced organic growth over its many years of trading, adding new business sites naturally. Enabling this business's achievement to date!
  • Receive a mixture of cash money and automatic payments arriving in your bank account, as regular as clockwork! You can now cash in and become financially supported by this 'profit-making' machine of a business - quite literally. These machines make money for you passively, receiving income at any time of the day. You could assume the staff member's full-time role and receive even more income by saving these wage payments and adding to the owner's already pleasing net return – This being your choice!

The ultimate potential for further sales, profit and machine site growth is here... This is a genuinely motivated owner, ready to transfer this business for the first time in 14 years. This substantial value vending machine business can now be yours alone (includes one of the very best brand names, plus a long list of domain names for online marketing). All this for only $889,845 + SAV ($40K approx. – Includes fast turning stock).
