I know someone who's thinking of getting into having some vending machines. They're talking to a company that seems to be more involved, you get the machines from them and they help find locations (included in the purchase price it seems). You get the product from them (it's not name brand candy it's more like that generic stuff you see in Staples in clear wrappers) and that's where they seem to make their money.
This seems to be an industry where there's lots of shady places or places that prey on ppl trying to make easy money.
But also seems like there's legit money to be made and this company doesn't seem like an outright scam. They claim to be established in BC for decades and are starting to expand into Alberta.
But it does sound like an easy way to buy into a business that doesn't make any money.
Anyone with experience in the industry? What kinds of questions to ask, pitfalls, etc?
Edit: it's these guys I think
