Introduction “A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself

Introduction
“A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, and 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?

Explain whether the business idea needs to be modified, changed significantly, or abandoned based on your feasibility analysis. (Note: If you abandon the business idea, then you will need to select and analyze a new business that has profit potential.)
