The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Start Your Own Vending Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Anne Rawland Gabriel
* Vending Business-In-A-Box: A step-by-step guide to starting a profitable vending business without getting burned by Bryon Krug
* Vending Success Secrets - How Anyone Can Grow Rich In America's Best Cash Business! by Bill Way
* The Vending Jackpot by Ronnie Talent
* Cash Locations: A step-by-step guide to securing the best money-making locations for your vending machines by Ronnie Talent
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

The vending machine industry has traditionally been a stronghold for organized crime (loose change with no means of tracing it), so I'd be careful about who you deal with and any expectations of expanding your business too much.
