Hi Everyone,
Another newbie here my name is Paul and im looking to start a small vending company in Cheshire as an additional source of income.
Ive been looking at a number of options pringles, tubz vending and snack cans but after reading everyones posts I think ill go alone and stay out of a franchise and just start small with a couple of machines from ebay.
From reading the posts it sounds like a really friendly forum and im happy to be part of it.
Franchises?? (vending packages ) are not all doom and gloom and I believe sometimes they are good to help get your foot on the ladder even if you try a 5 package with one of the suppliers especially if you have little or no experience in vending. Its a relatively cheap way to get started and you dont have to site find (if thats not your thing) I just think you need to be a bit more demanding when you take out a package explaining exactly what areas, sites etc that you will only accept and then make sure you get some form of written agreement or even better hold back payment and stagger it until all of your machines are succesfully sited to your liking.
Thanks you make some sense, I hadn't really figured out how much hassle it would be trying to site something (theres only so many friends and family i can enlist the help from), im not the worlds best salesman at the best of time either.
Ive spent some time today looking at the tubz vending website which seems pretty reasonable, I might make an inquiry with them for some more details.

That seems to depend on where you are Matt. I was offered help after my operation, but when I tried to contact Dave, I never got through. I pm'd him with my mobile, but he did not call, so I assumed that he did not want to travel up to the north.
