// Questions
Vending machine business: common questions
How much does it cost to start a vending machine business?
With Futureino, one machine costs from $1,100 to $6,800 at the factory, before shipping and import duties. One machine is enough to start, and you can add more as each location proves itself.
How much does a vending machine make?
It depends on the country and the spot. At our market averages, a Cotton Candy Robot in United States sells about 12 times a day at $8, which is about $1,870 a month after 35% operating costs, and earns back its price in about 4 months. Pick your country in the calculator on this page for your own numbers.
Do I need my own location?
No. You can rent a spot and run it yourself, keeping all the revenue, or place machines inside an existing business and share the revenue with its owner.
Do you help find locations?
Yes. We guide you on where machines earn most, and in some countries we can give you a list of locations. You also get marketing materials and technical training.
What is the difference between running machines and becoming a distributor?
Running machines means you own them and keep the revenue from every sale. A distributor sells our machines to other people in their country, at 10% off or more depending on quantity, or under their own brand.
