/biz/ - Business & Finance

Does anyone have any experience with vending machines? I have a couple ideas at a specific business that could use a specific product within a vending machine that would benefit the employees. (I also work in the building that I happen to have this idea for. So I have a feeling this would sell pretty well and even scale if I figure out the profit margin/math/whatever.) I've got no money and little drive, but I'll ask anyway.

How much would a machine cost?
Is it something I would rent from a machine manufacturer? (The end goal is that I would have enough money and experience to start building my own custom machines.)

IF this were to happen; How could I get the business to agree to put my machines in their building? Is it possible?
Would I have to pay rent to the building or business instead?
Or do I have to be the vending machine manufacturer?

I'm out of questions for now. Actually even asking gives me a bit of a model on what to do already. I just need some investment money.
