44
Conducting a feasibility
analysis and crafting a
winning business plan
45
Objective 1
Explain the elements of a feasibility analysis
A feasibility analysis is the process of determining
whether an entrepreneur’s idea is a viable foundation for
creating a successful business.
 Not the same as a business plan.
 Serves as a filter, screening out ideas that lack the
potential for building a successful business before an
entrepreneur commits the necessary resources to
building a business plan.
 An investigative tool.
46
A feasibility analysis consists of four interrelated
components:
 An industry and market feasibility analysis
 A product or service feasibility analysis
 A financial feasibility analysis
 An entrepreneur feasibility analysis
47
Industry and Market Feasibility Analysis
Two areas of focus:
1. Determining how attractive an industry is
overall as a “home” for a new business.
2. Identifying possible niches a small
business can occupy profitably.
48
Five Forces Model
Five forces interact with one another to determine
the setting in which companies compete and,
hence, the attractiveness of the industry:
 Rivalry among companies in the industry
 Bargaining power of suppliers
 Bargaining power of buyers
 Threat of new entrants
 Threat of substitute products or services
49
Product or Service Feasibility Analysis
Determines the degree to which a product or
service idea appeals to potential customers and
identifies the resources necessary to produce it.
This portion of the feasibility analysis
addresses two questions:
1. Are customers willing to purchase our good
or service?
2. Can we provide the product or service to
customers at a profit?
50
Primary research involves collecting data firsthand
and analysing it.
Secondary research involves gathering data that
has already been compiled and is available.
In both types of research, gathering both quantitative
and qualitative information is important to drawing
accurate conclusions about a product’s or service’s
market potential
51
Financial Feasibility Analysis
 Capital requirements – must have an estimate
of how much start-up capital is required to
launch the business.
 Estimated earnings – forecasted income
statements.
 Return on investment – combining the
previous two estimates to determine how
much investors can expect their investments
to return
52
Entrepreneur Feasibility Analysis
 Many new businesses require that an entrepreneur
possess a certain set of knowledge, experiences,
and skills to have a chance of being successful.
 Entrepreneurial readiness also involves issues such
as temperament and work ethic.
53

54
Objective 2
Explain the benefits of an effective business plan
Business Plan
 It describes which direction the company is taking, what
its goals are, where it wants to be, and how it intends to
get there.
 There is no substitute for a well-prepared business plan,
and there are no shortcuts to creating one.
 The plan serves as an entrepreneur’s road map on the
journey toward building a successful business
55
A business plan, which builds off of information
from the feasibility analysis and business model,
serves two essential functions.
Firstly, it guides the company’s operations by
charting its future course and devising a strategy
for following it.
The second function of the business plan is to
attract lenders and investors.
56
An effective business plan
should pass these three tests:
 Reality test
 Competitive test
 Value test
57
Objective 3
Describe the elements of a solid business plan
Although a business plan should be unique and
tailor-made to suit the particular needs of a small
company, it should cover these basic elements:
 Title Page and Table of Contents
 Executive Summary
 Mission Statement
 Company History
 Business and Industry Profile
58
 Business Strategy
 Description of Products/Services
 Marketing Strategy
 Competitor Analysis
 Description of Management Team
 Plan of Operation
 Forecasted Financial Statement

Building a Powerful
Guerrilla Marketing Plan
61
Objective 1
Describe the principles of building a
bootstrap marketing plan, and explain the
benefits of preparing one.
Building a Guerrilla Marketing Plan
Marketing is the process of creating and delivering desired
goods and services to customers and involves all of the activities
associated with winning and retaining loyal customers.
Guerrilla marketing strategies is unconventional, low cost,
creative marketing strategies designed to give small companies
an edge over their larger, richer, more powerful rivals.
62
A bootstrap marketing plan should
accomplish three objectives:
1. It should pinpoint the specific target markets the
small company will serve.
2. It should determine customer needs and wants
through market research.
3. It should analyse the firm’s competitive
advantages and build a bootstrap marketing
strategy around them to communicate its value
proposition to the target market.
63
Objective 2
Explain how small businesses can
pinpoint their target markets.
One of the first steps in building a bootstrap
marketing plan is to identify a small company’s
target market.
Target market is the specific group of customers
at whom the company aims its goods or services.
64
Sound market research helps the
owner pinpoint his or her target
market. The most successful
businesses have well-defined
portraits of the customers they are
seeking to attract.
65
Objective 3
Discuss the role of market research in
building a bootstrap marketing plan and
outline the market research process.
Determining Customer Needs and Wants
through Market Research
Market research is the vehicle for gathering the
information that serves as the foundation of the
marketing plan. Good research does not have to
be complex and expensive to be useful.
66
The steps in conducting market research include
the following:
Step -1: Define the objectives: “What do you
want to know?”
Step-2: Collect the Data from either primary or
secondary sources.
Step-3: Analyse and interpret the data
Step-4: Draw conclusions and act
