Feasibility Studies Whether you are considering a community recreation center, aquatics facility, or a privately owned sports facility, you will want to understand the construction costs and the projected revenue and expenses associated with your future facility. These projections must be thoroughly researched using calculations and analysis that is customized to your market. When completed by SFA, your feasibility study will provide detailed cash flow projections that will inform critical decisions regarding what to spend on the development, how much to build, where to build, what to offer, and what to expect in operating expenses, cost recovery, profits, energy consumption, and maintenance expenses. Your study must also address such important issues as the organizational structure and payroll, finance terms, competition, future trends in consumer spending, sports participation, and pricing, as well as a wide range of other factors. |
