Feasibility study development
A feasibility study provides complete information to the prospective client, investor, or lender about the planned project and planned results of future business.
Banks, investment funds, and other investors demand a detailed, professionally developed, and reasoned market and financial project analysis.
The preparation of a Feasibility Study implies a detailed analysis of various elements and characteristics of one country, area, city, and micro-location of your facility.
The study includes an analysis of all segments related to the tourist offer, infrastructure and attendance forecast, economic and tourist development and potentials, the scope of the offer, and the price of competition as the main elements that will determine the positioning of your product on the market.
It is common for a financial analysis in an investment study to be done for a period of five years due to the nature of the hospitality business. The financial analysis forecasts the turnover individually for each profit segment of the facility's business. This means that calculations are made as to how specific sectors will operate and how much turnover will be realized in, for example, room segment, F&B, wellness and spa sector.
Furthermore, a financial analysis contains projections of employee costs, energy, material, and general costs. Finally, it contains a GOP projection. NOP can be projected if there is information about the amount of financial debt that burdens the facility's operations at the time of the study.
It is also necessary to note that medium-term five-year business studies are not only developed when launching certain investments; on the contrary, serious companies prepare and update them periodically to monitor business and market progress.
Annual business plan development
Developing an annual business plan includes developing a marketing plan with defined market segments, clearly defined sales and distribution channels, realistic pricing policy, defined annual marketing campaigns, and an operating budget that controls operations against the planned revenues and expenditures at the monthly, quarterly, and annual level.
Based on a well-developed annual business plan, company managers and owners can react quickly to market changes as they know at any time their position against the planned business at a particular time of year. This is especially important in the hospitality business due to the possible impact of seasons on the planned volume of revenues.
Financial analysis or operating budget is a vital part of the annual business plan. It sublimates all the ideas developed at the marketing level and observed against income and expenses, it is clear whether it is a well-designed business plan.
We believe that it is noteworthy that companies with well-developed strategic business plans for the next five years produce much better annual business plans.
