Business Plans & Feasibility Studies
BUSINESS PLANS AND FEASIBILITY STUDIES
IBS Research & Consultancy has long experience in developing business plans and feasibility studies for companies considering new investments in Turkey and its region. Such projects involve identifying and appraising the key factors driving profitability and returns. They require a keen knowledge of regulatory and competitive conditions, coupled with realistic judgments about the future of the investment environment. The many projects carried out by IBS mean that it brings to this work a wealth of experience, coupled with knowledge of best business practices.
All the consultancy projects carried out by IBS are used for decision-making purposes. Many are presented either to its clients' main boards or to international or local financial organisations for credit purposes.
Most of IBS's research projects involve developing carefully argued forecasts of future trends in the markets under examination. To prepare these forecasts, IBS makes full use of the appropriate modeling techniques, testing its hypotheses with full regression analysis and applying standard statistical error minimisation techniques.
