Retail Research →Frequently Asked Questions
When do you need a Caribbean feasibility study?
A Caribbean feasibility study is essential before any significant investment or business venture in the region. Common triggers include: planning a hotel or resort development, evaluating a manufacturing plant location, assessing renewable energy project viability, considering retail expansion into new islands, exploring agricultural or agro-processing ventures, and evaluating real estate development opportunities. Development finance institutions and multilateral lenders typically require independent feasibility studies before approving Caribbean project financing.
What does a Caribbean feasibility study include?
A comprehensive Caribbean feasibility study by HRG covers five key dimensions: market feasibility (demand assessment, consumer willingness to pay, competitive landscape), technical feasibility (infrastructure, technology, operational requirements), financial feasibility (revenue projections, cost modeling, ROI analysis, break-even timelines), operational feasibility (workforce availability, supply chain, management capacity), and legal/regulatory feasibility (permits, licenses, environmental compliance). Each dimension is calibrated for Caribbean-specific conditions including hurricane risk, import dependency, and island-specific regulations.
How long does a Caribbean feasibility study take?
A typical Caribbean feasibility study takes 10-16 weeks depending on scope and complexity. Single-market studies focused on one sector may be completed in 8-10 weeks. Multi-market feasibility studies spanning several islands or involving site selection across territories can take 14-20 weeks. HRG's local presence and established data networks help accelerate timelines compared to firms conducting Caribbean research from overseas.
How much does a feasibility study cost in the Caribbean?
Caribbean feasibility study costs range from $25,000-$75,000 USD for single-market assessments to $75,000-$200,000+ USD for comprehensive multi-territory studies. Cost drivers include the number of islands covered, depth of financial modeling required, primary research requirements (consumer surveys, stakeholder interviews), environmental impact assessment needs, and regulatory analysis complexity. HRG provides competitive pricing through local operational efficiency and established Caribbean data networks.
What industries commonly need Caribbean feasibility studies?
The most common industries requiring Caribbean feasibility studies include tourism and hospitality (hotel/resort development, eco-tourism projects, attractions), real estate development (residential, commercial, mixed-use projects), manufacturing and agro-processing plants, renewable energy projects (solar farms, wind energy), retail expansion across islands, agricultural ventures and food processing, healthcare facilities, and financial services. Development finance institutions and government agencies also frequently commission feasibility studies for infrastructure projects across the Caribbean.
