During the investment preparation process, many businesses and investors need to conduct a preliminary feasibility assessment of a project before making a formal investment decision . This is a crucial step that helps investors understand the project’s potential, determine the appropriate investment scale, and mitigate risks during the implementation phase.
To conduct this assessment, businesses typically need to develop a pre- feasibility study report . This report provides an overview of the project, including market opportunities, investment options, capital requirements, and projected economic efficiency.
In Thai Nguyen – a region experiencing rapid industrial, commercial, and infrastructure development – the demand for pre-feasibility studies is increasing, particularly for investment projects in manufacturing, industrial park development, commercial services, and high-tech agriculture .
