FEASIBILITY
STUDIES
A feasibility study is the due
diligence that every person or company should do before starting any project. A
well prepared and researched study could save hundreds of thousands of dollars
further down the road. It helps avoid risk and answers questions, like:
Will
it work ?
How
will it work ?
What
is needed ?
When
is the best time ?
How
much investment is needed ?
What
will the return be ?
These
questions are only the start.
The place to start is with a Feasibility Study.
Risk, as every successful entrepreneur knows, is an inescapable fact of
business. A well prepared and researched study can help reduce the risk. By giving a true
measurement of that
risk, feasibility studies help pinpoint market opportunities and pitfalls, as
well as building
platforms for the assembling of good ideas. Once a full assessment has been
completed, a firm launch pad is constructed for the implementation of the
project.
Many new ventures and indeed, new projects, stumble in the first year. The main
cause is lack
of adequate advanced planning, thus causing initial under-capitalization,
cash-flow problems
and therefore panic management.
Most, if not all
the risk, can be avoided with a feasibility study!
