In order to produce great quality feasibility reports, the writer really needs to understand both the market as well as technical aspects of the business.
It is not often that this information is presented in precisely the manner needed to write directly into feasibility reports. So when I came across this information about workshops for engineers and designers to learn the skills to help them produce good quality feasibility studies - well, I thought I should pass the information on

Introduction
Business plans are useful for focus and direction. Small business owners, entrepreneurs, franchisers, franchisees, inventors - all need a clear vision and plan for success. Often the value of a business plan is found as much in the process of planning, as in the finished document.
ReadyPlanning.com™ provides a variety of information about business planning, as well as reviews of products and tools available to simplify the planning process.
Business Modelling
A term that is heard in entrepreneurship circles is “business modelling”. This term is quite appropriate, because it is a verb - an action. When reading information about business planning in its various forms, it is worth keeping this phrase “business modelling” in mind - you are designing your business, shaping it and forming it, until it starts to look like what you want. All the information and tools provided here at ReadyPlanning.com are intended to be used in this fashion - as part of a process of “modelling” your business into success.
Many small business owners are concerned about how to write a business plan? The answer will depend on the purpose of the plan. We outline the purposes and strengths of several different types of business plan, each with different emphasis, used for achieving different purposes.
Writing a business plan becomes much easier when we have an automated tool that takes us bit by bit through the process, and then builds charts and tables from the information we provide. ReadyPlanning.com reviews a number of tools and provides links to a variety of products that help in the business planning process.
In addition to sample business plans or automated tools, some people like to use template files to guide them through the planning process. Some templates simply list the heading and subheadings you should include, others ask relevant questions to answer or give a short explanation of what information to include at each heading - either way, you can be sure that you haven’t forgotten any vital detail if you use a template. ReadyPlanning.com reviews both free and priced templates, so that you know which one will be right for you.
