FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Our Feasibility studies in education are very tailored to educational entities. What makes our studies superior to those in the market is that they are carried out by consultants who have experience in the educational field, albeit those from a marketing, academic or financial background. This is crucial for determining the accuracy of the study. This accuracy is very rare in the market. and at G.R.A.C.E. we pride ourselves in having the knowledge and practice in establishing several educational startups which have upheld our forecasts of their viability at a Feasibility stage, prior to their operation.
Our studies involve a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including academic, financial, business, marketing and operational aspects. We create and assess the requirements of the project, evaluating the expertise and resources required to implement and maintain the project.
Our well-executed feasibility study can provide valuable insights and strategy into the feasibility of a project and help investors in education make accurate and informed choices for their business.
