Frequently Asked Questions

Feasibility Study FAQ

Straight answers about feasibility studies, the programs they support, and how we work — from an independent firm that has completed more than 4,000 studies since 1998.

What is a feasibility study, and why do lenders require one?

A feasibility study is an independent analysis of whether a proposed project can succeed in its market and support its financing. Lenders and government agencies require one because it tests the project's demand, competition, and financial projections before capital is committed — it is the underwriting evidence that a loan can be repaid.

What does a Wert-Berater feasibility study include?

A typical study covers the project and sponsor background, a market and demand analysis, a competitive supply review, a site and highest-and-best-use assessment, multi-year financial projections with debt-service coverage, sensitivity analysis, and a clear feasibility conclusion with the key risks identified.

Which financing programs do your studies support?

We prepare studies for SBA 504 and 7(a) loans, USDA Business & Industry (B&I) and Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) financing, EB-5 immigrant-investor projects, and conventional and institutional lending. The analysis is tailored to what the specific lender or agency needs to see.

How much does a feasibility study cost?

Fees are quoted per project based on scope, asset type, and complexity, so there is no single list price. Tell us about your project and we will send a fixed-fee quote — typically within one business day.

How long does a feasibility study take?

Turnaround depends on the project's scope and how quickly project data is available. We commit to a specific delivery date in writing when we provide your quote, so you can plan your financing timeline around it.

Are your studies independent?

Yes. We are an independent, third-party firm, and our fiduciary duty in every engagement runs to the lender and the agency relying on the study — not to the outcome a borrower may prefer. That independence is what makes a study credible in underwriting.

Do you work nationwide and internationally?

Yes. We have completed studies across all 50 states and internationally, and we tailor each study to the local market and the relevant lender or development-finance standards.

How experienced is the firm?

Wert-Berater has provided independent feasibility and valuation studies since 1998, completing more than 4,000 studies representing over $40.2 billion in project value across a wide range of asset classes.
