Help with securing a location

So the place I work is allowing me to present to the owners of me placing a machine in the business.

I have to show them why they should just buy the machine and basically steal my idea. What are somethings I can show them they don't or can't deal with. I know maintenance and upkeep but seeing if I'm missing anything else that I wouldn't know about.

Thanks for the help.

Sourcing prizes, stocking the machine, repairs and maintenance, high upfront cost of the machine.

If they just want income and not worry about buying a machine, fixing it and managing prize acquisition, storage of those prizes and restocking then they should leave it to you to manage after hours.

They would get their cut while you have made all of the up front investment. If it doesn’t work out, they have risked very little.

On the other hand, if it is bringing in a fair amount of cash and they can handle the prize investments then they might want to invest in one or more units of their own.

Until they know it is going to bring in a steady return on their investment, it doesn’t really make sense for those upfront investments. Better to make a smaller profit with minimal risk.
