Vending Machine Companies Have To Have Good Insurance Coverage by Jimmy Ingram
A necessary business investment for all small business owners is INSURANCE. Hotels, schools, apartment management companies insist that all of their vendors produce their liability insurance rider before they are allowed to service their businesses.
That's right, more and more locations are requiring that vending companies have a strong liability policy in place before they will except a bid and before the company's route-trucks and service personnel is allowed on their property, let alone sign the exclusive vending location contract.
Lawsuits are commonplace in the U.S. now. If your driver knocks down a post, if he drives his truck under a low hanging awning or God forbid hits a pedestrian with his truck or a thief sticks his hand through the glass of one of your vending machine and cuts an artery, or pulls a cold drink-machine away from the wall while trying to break into it and gets crushed when it tips over on them, or a school kid shakes one of your vending-machine while trying to shake loose a free candy bar and the machine topples over on top of him, or a customer while playing one of your coin-operated video games gets electrocuted by touching a frade electrical wire, you're liable!
Vending comany owners are starting to figure our they are no different than any other small business owners, because they are being forced to comply with the law and Workman Comp is one of those laws. A huge segment of all small businesses owners have been noncompliant and vendors have been a big part of the segment.
Workman's Comp is the law
Vehicle Insurance is a state requirement for both individuals and businesses
Liability Insurance has to be kept current with today ridiculous settlements
Loss of Business Insurance isn't required but can be a real good idea
Partnership Insurance, although few have it, it is the right thing to do
Health Insurance, well we all know this is soon going to be a big fat federal law
Every day that a small business owner or employee walks or drives out of their business or a client or customer walks into their establishment, and the business is not properly covered, the threat of bankruptcy for the entire business and the owners is all too real.
Without a good accountant, attorney and insurance you should not be in businesses. Every day in America small business owners and their expensive attorneys are in courts defending agains both righteous and frivolous lawsuits.
Our lawmakers are trying to bankrupt small business, they mother of all job creation in America; now they want to cram mandatory health insurance down small businesses throats. Does the problem need fixing? Yes, of course it does. Are they qualified to fix it? Most Congressmen and Senators are either really rich or career politicians that have not owned a small business, they have never had to make payroll or pay company expenses, our president included. Some would argue that Acorn has made a business out of stealing our tax dollars and that law makers are taking kickbacks by allowing Acorn to organize for their campaigns; both sides, Republicans and Democrats need to step back and look at what small business really needs before they pull the trigger on mandatory health care, because the have NO clue!

Classic Video Games (Paperback) $20.47 In the early 1970s, video arcade games sprung to life with the advent of Pong and other coin-operated games. Within just a few short years, if you had a quarter, you could go to the video arcade and play Space Invaders, Asteroids, or Pac-Man. If you were lucky enough to have an Atari system hooked up to your television, you could play Frogger or Galaga at home. By the early 1980s, arcade and video games were entrenched as a pop culture phenomenon, with players spending hours in arcades racking up as many points as possible. Arcade games were everywhere: restaurants, bowling alleys, department stores, grocery stores--anywhere that could accommodate a three-foot by five-foot machine. But, just as soon as the phenomenon began, it morphed into something else with the advent of hand-held games and more sophisticated home-gaming systems. Brian Eddy, former executive director, producer, and programmer for Midway Games, traces the evolution of arcade video games in Classic Video Games, giving readers an inside look at the stratospheric rise--and collapse--of the industry. Readers will reminisce about their favorite games, such as Centipede, Ms. Pac-Man, Tron, and Star Wars as they relive the glory days of the classic video game rage of the 1970s and 1980s. |
