Introduction
“A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, then check to see whether your idea, as originally conceived, needs to be modified, refocused, or changed dramatically. (Or perhaps even scrapped altogether.)” (1).
Overview
With this assignment, you will be addressing the fundamental question: Does this business have profit potential?
