In a nut shell, a feasibility study is find out if a new project or investment is viable. Example :- to develop a new block of office or residence. A feasibility study should point out
1. if the project is viable. If it is viable how much is the return to the stakeholders
2. which type of development should take place that will provide maximum return, office block or residence.
A business plan is the future planning on how to take your business foward. A business plan is for new or an ongoing activity. Annual budget is part of the business plan. In a business plan, should chart the steps to be taken. Example :- opening new branches, when and where.
After a feasibility study is executed, and if the stakeholders decide to proceed with the investment / project, a business plan need to be in place on how to implement the decision.
