Feasibility Study FAQ: Bank Requirements
Answers to common questions about feasibility studies for outdoor hospitality projects
Quick Answer
A feasibility study is a comprehensive analysis that evaluates whether a proposed outdoor hospitality project—glamping resort, RV resort, or campground—is financially viable before construction begins. It combines market and competitive analysis, site-specific revenue and expense projections, development cost estimates, and a 10-year pro forma to support investment and financing decisions. Sage's feasibility studies typically take 6–8 weeks and cost $10–$20k+, and are built to meet bank underwriting requirements. Unlike an appraisal, which determines a property's current value, a feasibility study is forward-looking and tests whether a proposed project will perform well enough to justify the investment and repay project debt.
