Joe Weston, a 12-year-old from Crawley, U.K., has launched a vending business, having recently secured a commercial account, according to a report in The Argus.
Weston began saving for his first machine three years ago when his father offered to pay him for small jobs.
After three years, he purchased a hot drinks machine, which generated enough profit for two other machines at his father's work yard.
Weston began offering his services to other firms in the area, sending out flyers and chocolate bars — which caught the interest of electrical retailer AO in Crawley. The company allowed Weston to install a snack machine in its warehouse.
