GRAIN VALLEY, Missouri — Wert-Berater, Inc., an independent feasibility study consulting firm serving lenders and government agencies since 1998, has completed a Retail Development Feasibility Study in Grain Valley, Missouri.

Wert-Berater served as independent feasibility consultant to the lender and CDC. Party names are withheld consistent with the confidential nature of underwriting and capital-advisory work; figures represent the project as evaluated at the study date.

Project Summary

Feasibility analysis of a 7,200-square-foot dual-tenant retail building in Grain Valley, Jackson County — a fast-growing Interstate 70 suburb on the eastern edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area — evaluated for SBA 504 financing. The program pairs an owner-operated wine and spirits store with a national-franchise quick-service food tenant in a single new-construction building.

What the Project Included

Trade-area demand analysis for both retail formats, franchise-system underwriting for the quick-service component, construction and equipment budgeting carried at line-item level, and a 271-slide master study assembled with full cross-referencing between the ownership structure, square-footage program, and financial schedules.

Capital Structure

SBA 504 structure: senior bank first mortgage, CDC debenture, and borrower equity injection, with the equipment budget for both tenant spaces carried inside the eligible project cost basis.

Feasibility Study Challenges

Two businesses under one roof and one loan means every inconsistency compounds: the engagement included a dedicated consistency revision pass reconciling the ownership structure, standardizing the square-footage program across every schedule, aligning the equipment budget, and incorporating the franchisor’s multi-unit approval language as a documented condition — the unglamorous work that determines whether a study survives lender and SBA review without exception items.
