Question
Hi I was very intrested in starting an ATM business what do I need to do to get started??

Answer
Hi Josh -

We would be glad to help. Our company, Franklin ATM Service, has helped 700+ people start their own ATM business. We have actually written a book to explain the process. You can view or download our book: ATM Business Owner Guidebook at our website: http://franklinatm.com .

There is a >lot< of things that you should learn prior to starting am ATM business. Here are the basics:

1. Need to find a location for the ATM.

2. Need to sign an agreement with the location owner to define the exact agreement. We have sample agreements available for download.

3. Need to purchase an ATM. We offer ATMs from several manufacturers. Prior to the purchase, we should discuss the type of location and ensure that you purchase a reliable ATM.

4. Need to program and setup the ATM. This will require a bank account for the ATM owner and some paperwork to ensure that the funds are routed properly to your account. Franklin ATM Service has a free programming guidebook or we can arrange a technician to install and program the ATM.

5. At this point, the ATM should be ready for operation. We can provide onsite training with a technician or you can review our series of ATM training videos for advanced training.
