Feasibility Studies
for start-up and expansion

For business owners and entrepreneurs working with commercial lenders.
A free service of the UW-W Small Business Development Center when requested by the lender.

When evaluating business loan applications, lenders consider one key question:
Will the business achieve financial success?

Why request a feasibility study?

  • To receive conservative, realistic financial projections.
  • To gain a customized analysis of industry trends, target markets, net present value of the business, and projections that include fixed operating expenses, income and cash flow, balance sheets, financial ratios and more.
  • To have projections compared to Risk Management Association data including ratio benchmarks, industry default probabilities and cash flow measures.
  • To utilize a free service. Studies have been provided as a free resource to commercial lenders since 2007.
  • To save time. Reports are typically completed in one to two weeks.

A sample report is available by request.

Financial performance determines the business owner's ability to repay loans.
Feasibility Studies enable lenders and borrowers to make well-informed decisions.
