FEATURES

- The Vending Machine Bookkeeping Spreadsheet: a 12-tab workbook for Excel and Google Sheets with income, expenses, mileage, unpaid invoices, dashboards and a tax summary
- Vending Machine Business Startup Planner: startup costs, monthly costs, pricing, break-even, 12-month cash runway and a 52-step launch checklist in one workbook
- The planner comes pre-filled with example estimates for a small vending machine business: 11 startup cost lines, 7 monthly costs and 3 services, clearly labelled "replace them with your own quotes"
- Example estimates are realistic for a one-person start in the US, not quotes or researched averages
- Pricing in the planner is per machine (here one "machine" means one machine for one month); break-even shows how many machines a month cover your costs and pay
- Small Business Plan Template: an editable plan (Word and Google Docs) with title page, contents and 10 sections, guidance notes and example text
- 3-year Financial Projections workbook: sales, costs, profit, year 1 cash flow by month and a loan repayment schedule
- READ-ME-FIRST for the plan with general information on loan applications (not legal or financial advice)
- One-page Vending Machine Business Launch Checklist with 23 steps in 5 groups and a notes area, US Letter and A4
- Each part is in its own zip folder with its own READ-ME-FIRST; spreadsheets include a Google Sheets setup guide
- Spreadsheets work in Excel 2010 or newer and Google Sheets; in Excel, formulas are locked with sheet protection that has no password (Google Sheets does not keep the locks, so type only in the input cells)
- Checklists tell you to check your own city, county and state requirements; nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice
