Introduction
The financial services market in Ukraine is actively developing, and payment terminals have become an integral part of the infrastructure. They provide convenience for consumers and open up opportunities for investors. One of the companies offering a payment terminal franchise is MoneyBox. In this article, we will consider the real experience of an investor who decided to invest in this business, and analyze the potential benefits and risks.
MoneyBox offer: what the company promises
MoneyBox positions itself as a fast and convenient solution for those who want to invest in payment terminals. Key points of the offer:
1 Installation speed: manufacturing and installation of the terminal in 5-7 days.
2 Minimal investor participation: only presence is required during installation; all technical operations are performed by a team of professionals.
3 Full support: instruction in use and collection, advertising support and technical maintenance.
4 Investments from $1,625: includes a terminal, a place to stay and other services, with the possibility of paying in installments.
5 Promised income: up to UAH 20,000 per month from one terminal.
Real investor experience: from expectations to reality
Initial interest and motivation
The investor became interested in the franchise after hearing from friends who were earning about UAH 10,000 per month from one terminal. Compared to other business opportunities, such as opening a coffee shop (which would require about $20,000), an investment of $1,625 seemed attractive.
Starting cooperation with MoneyBox
1 Efficiency: the company quickly processed the application, provided a contract and helped with choosing a place to install the terminal.
2 Equipment purchase: the cost of the terminal was $1625 plus shipping costs, totaling $1700:
3 installation: transportation costs are listed above, installation was free
The total investment was almost $1700.
Collection and work with the bank
It costs from 60 to 90 UAH per visit, which is a very adequate price considering how much time and gasoline you can spend on trips to the terminals if you do it yourself
Communication with the company
1 technical support: after installing the terminal, each investor and terminal owner has a lifetime warranty, which is a big advantage in the small business market
2 No need to travel to the terminals: this is a very important point, because I wanted to get exclusively passive income without physical intervention.
Financial results
1 Turnover for the first month: about 2,835,000 UAH.
2 Commission income: UAH 17,010
3 Expenses:
4 Space rental: UAH 2,000
5 Collection services: UAH 1,600
6 Net profit: only UAH 13,410
This result was more than satisfactory for me, so I plan to gradually increase the network of terminals.
