Can your project support itself financially? Are your construction costs too high to be supported by the revenue? Is the location right? Is your pricing structure sound?

 

Most important, do you have a sound plan which will enable the project to be funded from a lending source?

 

The IRCC feasibility study/business plan answers all of these questions and more.  If your project does not seem viable, we will either show you how the project can be made viable, or suggest a new location or not to proceed. We have no incentive to have our customers take an extraordinary risk if a project does not seem sound.

 

Finally, the IRCC plan is an excellent tool to create investor confidence from either private or institutional funding sources.  It will also let you sleep better knowing your financial assumptions are realistic and achievable.
