Common questions
Is a pre-feasibility study enough for financing?
Usually not; most financiers require a comprehensive study. The pre-feasibility study tells you whether the idea deserves one.
Is its cost credited if I move to a full study?
The full study builds on it, and how it is credited is set out in the proposal.
How does it differ from a comprehensive study?
A pre-feasibility study gives fast estimates for a go/no-go decision; a comprehensive study is a documented, detailed analysis fit for financing and execution.
