A business may be more willing to provide you with a vending location if you support a charity organisation. This is done through the charity's vending machine program.
Rather than pay the owner a vending commission, you can donate part of your vending sales to a charity of your choice, like the St George Foundation vending machine program. In return, the business will provide you with a rent free space. That way, the business is indirectly supporting the charity group which is great for them.
The charity organisation will provide you with stickers to display on your vending machine and in some cases certificates to make people aware of where the money is going.
If you live in a regional centre or in a close knit community, look to support a local charity organisation, event, school or club that everyone is familiar with.
