Vending business – is a kind of business with quick asset turnover: cash resources – goods – cash resources. Basic stock cost (spending on purchase of equipment, i.e. vending machines) has time to cover scores of time before physical and moral deterioration of the vending machines. Taking into account that a payback period of machines is 4 –6 months, and their life cycle is up to 10 years, the vending machines will be repaid 10-20 times within this period.

Circulating capital: some space of time passes since the purchase of goods (merchandise) till its sale to the customer. Literary, if a consignment of goods has been bought today, tomorrow it will be selling through vending machines. The investment in stuff returns to the operator within a month or two. At that the operator gains 70-100% of profit from the receipts. The funds make 3-4 annual turnovers. Thus the profit comes to 800-1000%per annum of the investment.

Many people couldn’t afford buying a pack of cigarettes, but could always find money for one cigarette. The problem of money changing is also being solved – next to a vending machine they place a change machine changing, for instance, a 5-cent coin for 5 pennies (one -cent coins).

One shouldn’t idealize vending like business not subjected to crisis. Thus, in view of currency reform and change of national European currency in Europe west-european vending was delivered a considerable blow: the machines had to be reorganized according to new currency, coin mechanisms had to be changed. Not that it caused decline in business turnover. And vending doesn’t stop in its development – up-to-date multifunction machines are ready to take payment in coins, bills, credit cards and even by means of mobile phones.
