How to choose a feasibility study firm: 8 questions before you pay

The eight questions

1. Does every price and rent have a source and date?

2. Is the study built on my location and competitors?

3. What if the result is “not feasible”? A serious firm says so with numbers and proposes an alternative form if one exists.

4. Can I change the numbers after delivery?

5. Exactly what do I receive? Files, formats, financing file, licensing plan, supplier guide.

6. Is the price VAT-inclusive, and what is excluded?

7. How long, counted from when?

8. Does the firm promise profit or financing? If so, that is a red flag.

Red flags

• “Accredited by all authorities.” See what accredited means.
• Work measured by page count.
• Round numbers with no sources.
• A price tied to a “feasible” result.
• No written quote before payment.

What the written quote must include

• Scope: activity, location, number of branches.
• Delivered files and formats.
• VAT-inclusive price, payment and refund terms.
• Timeline and its start.
• The data required from you.
