Low-Cost Entry and High Scalability
In the business world, finding an opportunity that combines a low-entry barrier with significant scalability can be challenging.
Enter Naturals2Go, the largest healthy vending company in the U.S. As the uncontested leader in unattended retail, Naturals2Go is the healthy snack and beverage division of VendTech International – and the fastest-growing, longest-running vending business opportunity in the U.S.
The venture makes perfect sense for entrepreneurs looking for simple and flexible entry requirements.
“Naturals2Go offers several different entry options that are flexible to meet the needs of owner-operators,” explained the CEO of BARQAR, Brad Smith, who coordinates Naturals2Go’s marketing efforts.
Those options include launching the business part time while still working a full-time job. Though, as Smith pointed out, eventually you can replace your full-time income and regain control of your schedule. Plus, you can grow the business over time, expanding your territory at your pace to complement your life goals and strike that elusive work-life balance.
Besides having a low-cost entry, Naturals2Go presents many growth opportunities with little experience required. “No outside sales experience is needed; our locating team places the machines for you,” Smith confirmed. And there’s no need for expensive retail space, either. “Our locating team places your machines in other retail and facility spaces,” he added.
Naturals2Go can be scaled organically without selling and without any significant cost attached. Smith noted that several operators have expanded their business on referrals alone. You’ll receive incredible tax benefits as the owner-operator, and without defined territories, unprecedented growth potential awaits.
Tina Paine experienced this rapid growth firsthand. She began her certified, woman-owned Naturals2Go business in September 2013 with five machines in a part-time capacity. Ten years later, Paine is up to almost 50 machines across Massachusetts and New Hampshire (that’s 10 times growth!) and still is expanding. In 2018, she was able to leave her job in the legal and regulatory industry and focus on Naturals2Go full time.
The best part? Paine has done it on her own terms.
“I love that I am supported, but at the same time allowed to run my business the way I want,” Paine said. “While working in the corporate world, I felt isolated from my community. Being a Naturals2Go operator has allowed me to grow my business and be profitable while at the same time contributing to the betterment of my community.”
Paine recently hired two employees to help on the backend so she can focus on scaling faster. One is a person with disabilities, and Paine feels that giving him an opportunity is a win all around.
“Steven came to us through NorthEast Arc, a job-placement organization for persons with disabilities. He is part of our work family. He is such a joyful person,” said Paine. “He works in the warehouse twice a week and is building his skillset and working more independently.”
Turns out that being empowered to grow your business while you give back to the community you love is the most natural thing in the world.
