FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

The Difference Between a Bank-Ready Feasibility Report and a Downloaded Template: It Is the Research


Pakistan has abundant free feasibility study templates. You can download a SMEDA template for almost any industry in five minutes. The problem is not the template. The problem is what goes inside it. A feasibility study that Pakistani banks, investors, and development finance institutions will accept as the basis for a financing decision is not a document you fill in. It is a document you research. It requires actual market data for your location and sector, realistic financial projections based on current input costs and market prices, a genuine competitive analysis, and a risk assessment that reflects the specific challenges of your proposed business in the current Pakistani economic environment. That is what IKTAR produces

WHO ENGAGES IKTAR FOR FEASIBILITY REPORTS

When a Free Template Is Not Enough: Who Needs IKTAR’s Feasibility Study Service

Who Engage IKTAR for Feasibility Studies

• Entrepreneurs seeking bank financing for a new business venture who need a bank-accepted study
• SME owners expanding into a new product line or market and needing an investment justification
• Investors evaluating a business opportunity before committing capital
• Real estate developers requiring feasibility analysis for residential or commercial projects
• Agricultural businesses evaluating processing, export, or value-addition projects
• NGOs and social enterprises requiring feasibility studies for donor-funded project applications
• Overseas Pakistanis investing in Pakistan who need objective local market research

Situations That Require Professional Quality

• A commercial bank or DFI has requested a feasibility study as part of a financing application
• An investor is requesting a credible, independently researched basis for their investment decision
• The business involves significant capital investment where an incorrect market assumption would be costly
• A government or donor agency requires a feasibility study that meets specific reporting standards
• Previous attempts to raise financing have been rejected partly due to the quality of the feasibility documentation

Note: The most common reason IKTAR is engaged for feasibility studies is that a previous financing application was rejected, at least in part because the feasibility report did not meet bank requirements.

HOW IKTAR PRODUCES YOUR FEASIBILITY REPORT

A Research-First Process That Produces Reports Banks Actually Accept

1. Briefing and Scoping

IKTAR conducts a detailed briefing with the client to understand the proposed venture, the intended use of the study, the financing target, and any specific requirements of the bank or investor being approached.

2. Research and Data Collection

Primary market research for the specific location and sector. Input cost verification from current suppliers. Regulatory requirement confirmation. Competitor analysis. This phase takes 5 to 10 working days.

3. Report Drafting and Financial Modelling

The full feasibility report is drafted and the Excel financial model is built from the research data. A draft is shared with the client for review and factual verification before finalization.

4. Delivery and Presentation Support

The final report is delivered in professionally formatted PDF and Word versions with the Excel financial model. IKTAR provides support for the bank or investor presentation on request.

Pre-Feasibility Note

Not sure if your business idea is worth a full feasibility study?
IKTAR also offers a Pre-Feasibility Assessment for entrepreneurs who want a preliminary evaluation
of business viability before committing to a full study. The pre-feasibility report identifies the major opportunities and risks,
estimates the indicative investment required, and recommends whether to proceed to a full feasibility study.
Pre-feasibility assessments are typically completed within 5 to 7 working days.

I have reviewed hundreds of feasibility study rejections from Pakistani banks over 25 years of consulting. In the majority of cases the rejection was not because the business idea was bad. It was because the financial projections were not grounded in real market data, the competitive analysis was superficial, and the risk section was generic. A feasibility study that a bank will accept is not more complicated than a free template. It is more honest.
