A financial feasibility analysis can help to identify whether your proposed development will be a financial success or a failure. It will highlight potential problems or risks you may face along the way enabling you to undertake sensitivity analysis to better understand the risks. This systematic method of taking into account all projected costs and income provides clear direction to ensure a successful financial outcome for a project.
