When starting out a new business, such as a small shop or a new bar or restaurant, it is important to decide early on about where your bottle coolers are going to come from. There are a few options available to business owners: buying new, buying second hand, and leasing from another company.
Buying New
When deciding to buy a new cooler, you will first have to weigh up whether the high initial cost will work out to be cheaper in the long run. Finding a new bottle coolers for sale is easy enough, and the chances are that you won’t suffer any breakdowns or problems with it will at least in the first few years. You will also be able to pick and choose from all the available models on the market, unlike with second hand models where you will have a more limited selection.
Buying Second Hand
Many leasing companies run auctions a few times a year to sell off their used stock. It is a bit of gamble but if you are lucky you may not have any issues with breakdowns and you will have saved a ton of money. Other places to get bottle coolers is at online auction sites such as eBay and local classified ads in newspapers are pretty good too. If you are starting up a new business then going second hand is advisable since you want to keep your initial costs as low as possible.
Leasing
Leasing a cooler has the advantage of being a lot cheaper initially which can be useful when starting out. You will pay for the machine as well as maintainance on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly contact. The advantage of doing this is that you won’t have to worry about the machine breaking down. If you are just starting out, it may be a good idea to start off leasing until your shop has a good turnover – then you can think about leasing a Coca Cola cooler or other branded cooler direct from the company – they will usually give you one for free is you commit to exclusively selling the company’s products.
