How to Start a Vending Machine Business: LLC Setup

Starting a vending machine business? Set up your LLC before you sign your first location. Here's why it matters (location deals, heavy machines, money in and out, buying stock), every Bizee screen from start to finish, and the one registration to handle before your first machine makes a sale.

Coins, cards, commissions: one business account

Buying stock

Product for resale, bought as a business
