What is a Vending Machine Lease?

Leasing a vending machine means entering into an agreement where you pay a fixed monthly amount to use the vending machine for a set period of time. The typical timescale of a vending machine lease is three to five years and during this time you don’t own the vending machine but at the end of the lease period you may be given the option to take ownership, or you can upgrade your machines.

What is an Outright Purchase of a Vending Machine?

Purchasing a vending machine outright is exactly what it sounds like – you pay for the equipment upfront and you own it straightaway. There are no monthly payments, no lease agreements and no restrictions on how you use or manage the vending machine. It’s the simplest route a business can take to owning a vending machine, although it is best suited to businesses who have the capital available and who want full control of their assets.

Getting a Business Vending Machine Shouldn't Be Complicated

Whether you’re kitting out your brand new office, upgrading the workplace breakroom or adding new food and drink provisions to your facility choosing whether to buy or lease a vending machine is one of the first decisions you’ll make.

Buy or Lease a Vending Machine: Which Option is Right For You?

There’s no one size fits all answer when it comes to whether you should buy or lease your office vending machine. The decision ultimately depends on the situation your business is in, the budget you have available and how your business likes to manage their assets.

Leasing a vending machine tends to be best suited to businesses who want to preserve their working capital and have predictable monthly payments spread out over 3-5 years. With the option to upgrade at the end of the lease term, this option is most popular with growing businesses that want to scale up quickly.

Purchasing a vending machine tends to suit businesses that have a budget readily available and want the simplicity that comes with outright ownership and who plan to keep the equipment for a long period of time.

Still not sure which option is right for you? That’s what we’re here for! Our team of experts can talk you through the options and map out a plan that works for your sites needs.
