How much can I make a month from 4 vending machines in a good location? I plan to expand later.? -

I am interested in opening a vending machine company. I plan to place Gatorade machines in 4 seperate gym s. How much would I be able to make a month? I plan to take it further if 4 are successful.

I ve found for the most part that gyms aren t a very good location for vending. We ve had Powerade and Vitamin Water in a few local mid size gyms (about half the size of a Gold s Gym) and the best machines do maybe $60 in a week, some have done less than $20 in a week. (That s $1 for 20oz Powerade and $1.50 for 20oz Vitamin Water) These machines really have trouble selling the product before it goes out of date.We do have a machine at a Lady Fitness that sells over $120 of Dasani a week (5 Cases) despite the fact that the machine is right in front of a water fountain. I m guessing that the customers buy the Dasani and reuse the bottles at the fountain? Either way, you ll find that gyms are really hit or miss.

Unless you re buying a previously-used route from another entrepreneur, there s no way to determine exactly how much Gatorade will be bought on a regular basis.As a possible frame of reference, you might multiply the sale price of each drink by the capacity of the machine. How many times do you have to empty the machine to cover your expenses?Which expenses are legal deductions?Also, does the company insure the machine against repair costs or liabilities in any way?

1st off you need to provide more information as in which items your selling in those machines !installing them in places is very difficult i see many in local taverns that are stale and hardly used the owners own those .25 cent candy machines !i think you better look else where for such a real time biz because as per report these vending machines are losing money today they operating in the red !see forbes business report

Some things to consider.A good new beverage machine costs $2,000Yes you can buy junk for a lot less.They can only be transported standing upor you will ruin the condenser.If you don t know how to repair themyou will have to hire someone. I charged $75per hour door to door 10 years ago.The best locations are controlled by big vendors.

a vending machine in a typical environment makes about 50-70 dollars per day. So 60dollars x 28days x 4 machines = $6720dollars.

What is a good name for my small auto business? -

i need a name for my business im about to launch i fix appearances of cars like dings healights interior rips and so on, i live in texas if that gives you any ideas please think of something good and dont give me somthing already taken thanks.

How about running a competition in your area through your local newspapers, or with local secondary schools/colleges etc to get all the locals to come up with a name.That way you get free PR in the local newspapers, school/college newsletters etc both announcing the competition in the first place and then announcing the winner, perhaps with a photo of you handing the competition winner their prize (which doesn t have to be expensive - how about an MP3 player for a tenner?) and if you get photographed with the winning name/logo being held up too then it gets it in front of people right from the start. then once they start to see your business up and running they will already be familiar with the logo/name etc and your business will have instant credibility.This is just an idea - adapt it at will!

I would like to start an online company selling clothing accessories. How does the taxation work? -

Do I need any other tax id other than the one for my state...or do I have to apply for an id in each state in the U.S. What about selling to Canada...the U.K...and other countries?

you just need a sales tax license from your state - every state is different in what is taxable - clothing is not taxable in all states - if it is taxable in your state, you only need to charge sales for sales that ship to customer IN YOUR STATE. out of state shipments are tax free (for now)

The scam answers have usually been reported by that time, so that only the wise answers remain to be read. Do this - it will be so much more clear for you.

Where can I go to be hired as a Freelance Web Designer, or if I said it wrong how do i start? -

I m 17 and I need some money somewhat quick with my skills in web design, and all i need is help finding clients. If you want to know my skills, they are;1. HTML2 JavaScript (still learning)3. Photoshop (if you need a LOGO, custom Background, or Photoedit)4. Beginner-Intermediate Flash 5. Intermediate-Pro DreamWeaver and plenty more skills on the computer.

Most people with your skills will be using freelance job sites to find work. You don t have to pay to join those sites either, but you do need to have a portfolio (at least a small website) of work you ve done, to show what you re capable of. You ll also need to think about what you are offering to do for people. e.g. looking at your skillset, you might decide to concentrate ONLY on doing logos for people. Short, simple, jobs in the first instance will build your reputation, feedback and confidence to start tackling larger jobs - also, if you ve done a logo for somebody then the chances are they will come back to you for new/further work on their website.Don t over stretch yourself, just pick small/easy jobs to start with, then build on your success.Good luck!

I am awomen and I want to start my own small business and have questions? -

i want to start eith my own child care center or my own childrens consignment shop and would like to know if ther really any true places that do grants for women or small buisness loans how would i go about starting thing and good resorces or any suggestions i would be greatful for. thanks a bunh gods blessing to u all.April

where do u live? call the local city hall and bank to enquire

Private child care centers are absolute money makers. Everyone goes to work. Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Joe. So, what to do with the kid until 3-4 o clock? You probably have a lot going for you that you don t even realize. First, you re a woman. The federal small business administration gives low interest loans to businesses. And special consideration for minority business enterprises, which is what your business will be. (Women in business are a minority and receive that consideration). The SBA will require certain licenses from you. Your local goverment can furnish you with the list of licenses which will be required to operate a child care business. It s a lot of leg work and paperwork, but mostly simple stuff. The SBA will also require a location of the business, copy of leases/if any. And a business checking account. Basically, that s how one would get started in such a business. I do have a great success story for you regarding child care business. Much to long for this space, but if you would like to hear it, contact me via YA. Best of Luck.

for small business information go to www.irs.gov and request publication 34, it will help muchre: grants, it is very unlikely grants are available to anything other than non profitsyou might google women owned businesses and see if there is helpthis used to be a major factor but apparently enough has been done to get women into business it is no longer a major issue

I want to announce to the entire public that there is a loan lender that offer all kind of loan at low interest rate of 3%, so if you are interested in getting the loan, all you have to do is to contact me via my email address at layawayloansetup@gmail.com,so we can proceed i will be waiting your response soon.
