Frequently Asked Questions

Do Vending Machines Make Good Money?

They can when you place the right machine in the right location. A single bulk vending machine (gumballs, toys, candy) can earn $30 to $200+ per month, while full-line snack and drink machines can earn more.

Do You Need a Vending Machine License?

Most states or municipalities require at least a basic business license or tax permit to operate legally. Flat vending (like gumballs or toys) is often simpler to manage, but always check with your local city or county to avoid any unpleasant surprises from regulatory bodies.

Is it Legal to Put a Vending Machine Anywhere?

No - you need to get permission from the property owner, first. Most vending operators sign an agreement to place their machine in exchange for a small commission or rent payment.

Do Vending Machine Owners Pay for Locations?

Most of the time you’ll need to offer revenue sharing or a flat monthly rate. However, some of our customers have convinced property owners to let them setup their machine for free by explaining the value it brings to their business and their customers.

How Much Does it Cost to Start a Vending Machine Business?

You can get a bulk gumball, toy, or candy machine - and everything you need to stock it - for just a few hundred dollars. More sophisticated card-operated machines cost a few thousand dollars. 

Either way, it’s a far more affordable business venture than most other options, especially when you buy vending machines for sale at Gumball.com and take advantage of our price matching.

Do I Need Insurance for My Vending Machine Business?

It’s not legally required in all areas, but it’s smart to carry general liability insurance if your machine is placed in a public or high-traffic location for protection against theft, vandalism, and liability claims related to your machine’s use.
