Business case and feasibility studies

Does your case make commercial, financial and strategic sense? Is it achievable at a cost that delivers the necessary investment return?

The project viability analysis, business case and industrial feasibility study ensure you have the information you need to answer these questions and identify the optimal route forward. Haskoning brings key benefits by combining proven technical expertise with financial and strategic consultancy.

What is involved in the business case and feasibility study?

This phase is practical and strategic, assessing the viability of your scheme and whether a market exists. It drills into expected levels of demand, the technical solutions required, and risks involved. There may also be a strong technological component. 

Extending beyond financial and economic analysis, the business case seeks to understand opportunities and threats as well as whether the plans are strategically aligned with your organisation. A range of scenarios and ‘what if’ questions can be explored which draw on financial and simulation modelling. 

You’ll get answers to whether your project is technically and commercially feasible and whether it can be implemented within cost parameters. Market studies and due diligence may also be carried out during this phase.

Why your industrial project needs a business case and feasibility study?

The assessments made in respect of the strategic, technical and financial viability of your plans guide and inform your future decisions. We ensure we identify key constraints, opportunities and interdependencies by considering the full eco-system.

It is a multi-faceted approach which extends well beyond financial considerations. The result is a more robust, competitive business model which secures your bottom line, builds in resilience and paves the way for sustainable growth.

There are broader benefits too. A robust business case analysis supports your communications with stakeholders, reassures investors (internal and external), and informs smart decisions. 

The gap analysis and structured project viability analysis focus attention on minimising and mitigating risks, whether financial, operational, strategic or market-related. The business case provides a useful benchmark to assess project performance by comparing expected and actual outcomes. 
 
We also offer independent third-party verification of investment projects to ensure nothing has been overlooked and that assumptions and estimates are realistic. Our project feasibility analysis and quality assurance checks are particularly useful where clients are scaling up processes or establishing operations in new regions.
