AZVendor Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It sounds like you already know most of what to ask. Other questions: how many of each model of machine, commissions?, contracts?, proof of sales, for how long?, any extra machines, what are the vend prices, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can I see 3 years of your tax return? Dos he own all of the machine or are some owned by the bottlers? Are any of the machines listed as collateral for an outstanding loan? Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsVending Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just a few questions I would have: 1. How much is the route doing? 2. What is the value of the machines? 3. Does price include all inventory and change in machines? 4. Do you pay any commissions to the locations? 5. Do any of the locations have contracts? 6. Are all machines in good working order? 7. Why are you selling? 8. How long have you serviced the locations? 9. Where are the locations? 10. Is all the equipment owned by the owner? 11. How are your items priced? Cans, bottles, chips, snacks? 12. What else is included in sale of company? 13. Will the seller offer any financing? 14. Will the seller help in the transitional phase? 15. Will the contacts stay with the new owner? 16. Can you inspect all of the locati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
