Market Feasibility Study and Site Selection Analysis
Will your business work in your town, and which location gives it the best chance? Every number is sourced.
What is a feasibility study?
A written test of a business idea or a location before you spend the money. It looks at who will buy, how many of them are nearby, who you compete with, and what your costs and sales would have to be. It ends with a plain answer: go, change something, or don’t.
Why do you need one?
A lease, a build-out or a loan is hard to undo. A study costs a fraction of one bad decision, and it gives a landlord, lender or partner something concrete to look at. It also shows you the weak spot while it is still cheap to fix.

See Groundwork in action
Your business team. Without the full-time payroll.
Running a business leaves little time to study competitors, pricing, advertising, customer behavior, and changing market conditions. We research the market around your business, organize what matters, and put clear findings and practical options in front of you.
The honest question
Why pay us when free help exists?
Free business help is real, and for many owners it’s worth using. But free help is built to advise. By design, the work stays with you: the research, the writing, the numbers, the follow-through. You pay for it anyway, in nights, weekends and months of “I’ll get to it.”
Groundwork is for the moment you need it done, not discussed.
| Free help | Groundwork | |
|---|---|---|
| What you walk away with | Advice and a to-do list | The finished research, plan, pricing or document |
| Who does the work | You | We do |
| When you hear back | When a volunteer or counselor is available | The same business day, usually within minutes |
| When it’s finished | When you find the time | On a delivery date, in writing, before you pay |
| What it’s built from | One person’s experience | Research on your market, your competitors and your numbers |
| If it doesn’t help | Nothing to get back | Full refund under our guarantee |
| What it costs | $0, plus your hours | One published fixed fee |
Free costs you time. We give it back. Every hour you spend researching competitors, drafting a plan or rewriting a price sheet is an hour you’re not selling, serving or resting. Our fee buys that work finished, by a set date, with a guarantee behind it.
Use free help to get advice. Use Groundwork to get it done. Many owners do both.
Guaranteed. If you don’t walk away with clearer direction and at least one practical action you can use, we refund your payment in full.
