For all those entrpreneurial individuals that are looking to get into the atm business, the time is now! The cost of an atm machine, a new one,  is less than a 2,000 (and thats for a good quality one). Interest rates are extremely low. If you’d rather not layout the capital to buy a machine, there are many companies that will allow you to lease it for less than $75 a month.

ATM Service
From a service side, there are many techs that are always looking for work (especially if you are in or near a major city). You can contact them at any time if and when an atm goes down. Their costs are significantly lower than going through a major organization.

Money for ATM Machines
Now, this is the main aspect. If you’re able to be on top of your cash flow, you can flourish in this business. In some instances, its worth tapping into your line of credit to use it as cash for the atms.

Quick Math:

250 transactions @ $2 = $500
.50 transaction paid to store owner = $100

One tech call a month 
(which I divided by 2,
since its really once
every 2 months)    =    $50

That leaves you with a profit of $350 (not including interest charges if you are borrowing money).
That means you get the cost back of the atm machine is less than 6 months.

If you are having trouble finding atm locations, there are business out there that will secure them for you (this will of course come at a cost, and normally a hefty one). Might be something worth looking into the first atm you get.

Remember, if you build the ecosystem around you properly, you can flourish in this business
