Key Risks Involved with Vending Machine Franchises

1. Your Initial Investment

Where will you get the money for your initial investment? Do you have the cash available, or will you need to consider financing? Should you withdraw from your retirement savings? Is a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan available?

2. Your Ongoing Royalty Payments

How much are the royalty fees? Will you be able to pay your royalties and still make a living from your vending machine franchise? What happens if you can’t make your royalty payments? Could you be liable for the franchisor’s “lost future royalties”?

3. The Franchisor’s Right to Terminate

When can the franchisor terminate your franchise? What happens to your machines (and your investment) upon termination? Will you be able to pursue another franchise opportunity; or, will you be restricted by a non-compete?

4. The Franchisor’s Lack of Accountability

What are your franchisor’s legal obligations under your franchise agreement? Are you entitled to advertising in your territory? Are you entitled to operational support? Can your franchisor make changes to its business and technology systems at will and require you to comply at your expense?

5. Costs of Dispute Resolution

What are your options if the franchisor breaches your franchise agreement? Are you required to submit your claims to mediation? Arbitration? Will you be required to travel to the city where the franchisor’s headquarters are located? Will you be on the hook for costs and legal fees?

These are just a small sampling of the potential legal and financial issues involved in purchasing a vending machine franchise. If you are thinking about buying a franchise, our franchise review and negotiation services can help mitigate your risk. If you are facing a franchise-related legal dispute, we can represent you in mediation, arbitration or litigation.
