Buy, rent or lease a vending machine: which is right for you?

There are four ways to get a vending machine into your venue. None is "best"; it depends on your budget, how much you want to be involved, and how sure you are that the location will perform.

Buying

Best for: established venues with proven footfall.

You pay upfront and own the machine. There's no rental and no commission, so once it has paid for itself everything after that is profit. It's the best long-term return, but you take the risk if the location underperforms. More about buying.

Renting

Best for: first-timers and anyone testing a location.

A fixed weekly cost (ours start from £19.80 a week on a 2-year term, plus a refundable deposit) covers the machine, delivery, installation and support. You stock it and keep the profit. It's the lowest-risk way to start. More about renting.

Leasing

Best for: businesses that want to own without paying upfront.

Fixed payments over two to five years, and the machine is yours at the end. In a well-placed machine, the takings usually cover the payments. More about leasing.

Fully managed

Best for: high-footfall venues that want zero involvement.

We supply, stock, service and maintain the machine at no cost to you, and pay you a commission on sales. It's available for venues that meet our footfall criteria. More about fully managed.
