Finances? A) How do I know if I'll qualify for h.u.m.a.n.'s special leasing or financing program, B) how much does it cost to lease or purchase a h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending machine, and C) with how many machines am I required to start?

Overview
The vending business is ALL about cash flow. To break-even you simply need to make sure that your profits each month are greater than your payments on the machine. This isn't too hard to do! This allows individuals tight on cash to pay NO money up-front and still make good profits month over month. Therefore, you're "breaking-even" right from the get-go. However, if you do have a decent amount of liquid assets available, then it will make sense for you to purchase your h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending machines outright and up-front. This will allow you to avoid interest payments and will minimize the overall cost of the machines in the long-run.

Qualification
In order to qualify for our special leasing or financing program you need to have a respectable credit score, sufficient business experience, or a sizeable liquid asset pool. If you're an owner or a business or part of an educational institution, it greatly helps your standing and your chances of getting approved. Businesses and schools themselves are usually approved immediately. Some of our financing programs require that you've owned your own business for at least two years, while our leasing program is a bit more flexible. The point is, we'll do whatever we can to integrate you into the h.u.m.a.n. family! The application process is very simple - you just have to fill-out our basic leasing application (which you'll receive after filling-out our contact form) and within 24 hours we'll let you know if you've been approved for one of our leasing or financing programs. From there we can chat about the details, but it certainly isn't rocket science.

Typical Cost
Typical lease & finance payments start at around $40 per week with NO money paid up-front. The exact amount of your lease or finance payment depends on the term of your contract (36, 48, or 60 months) and what type of machines you buy. For individuals that really want to avoid paying any cash up-front, we can also usually wrap delivery costs and other optional fees into the lease or finance package. This gives our vending operator partners the greatest possible opportunity to be profitable and "in the black" from the very beginning. This can't be said for too many businesses, and is certainly one of the benefits of the vending industry and the special financing programs we've set-up with our financial partners.

 There are really three four types of lease-end options:

i) Take title to the equipment for $1; or
ii) Take title to the equipment for 10% of the equipment price; or
iii) Continue leasing the equipment at a reduced rate; or
iv) Return the equipment with absolutely no further obligation

You pay a little less per month if you agree to the 10% option, which is...you have the option of buying back the equipment at 10% the price.  The other option is to pay a little more per month and get the option of buying the equipment for $1 (free).

Machine Requirements
In most instances, we require new h.u.m.a.n. vending operators to start-off with 3-5 vending machines. The exception to this rule is if you're operating a machine at your place of business and are not actually operating an outside vending route. The main reason for this is because we want our vending operators to run profitable, efficient businesses that are a good use of their time. It takes too much time to run a one vending machine route. Running a five machine route doesn't take that much more time, but yields five times the profits! Would you like to spend 20% more time on your business and make five times the profits? We sure do hope so! We've found that vending operators who start-off with at least three vending machines are typically much happier than those vending operators who start off with only one machine. It is our job to prime our vending operators for optimal success, and this is the reason for our machine requirements. We want you to be as happy as can be!

We make it as easy as possible for any respectable, high-integrity, and passionate person to join the h.u.m.a.n. family as a proud owner of h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending machines!
