About this Course

A feasibility study is an assessment of the practicality of a proposed project or system. A feasibility study aims to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats present in the natural environment, the resources required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for success.[1][2] In its simplest terms, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost required and value to be attained.

According to Collins Dictionary, a profitabality study is a study of how much profit a company, organization, etc, makes or how profitable it is.

Grant writing is the process of applying for funding provided by a private, corporate, or government grantmaker. To acquire a grant, you must submit a well-written proposal to one of these entities in order to be considered eligible. Grant seeking is highly competitive. It’s especially difficult when requesting support for a new program or organization for the first time.
