Overview
A feasibility study is not a document you submit to a bank and forget — it is the test that decides whether your project deserves your money at all. A good study may end in a negative recommendation, and that is the best possible outcome when the project genuinely is not viable, because it saves you a far larger loss.
What separates a real study from a cosmetic one is where the numbers come from: were they built on actual Saudi market data — real prices, realistic operating costs, a defensible market share — or on optimistic assumptions designed to please the applicant? We commit to the former, even when the answer is uncomfortable.
Rapture prepares comprehensive studies covering market, technical and financial dimensions, in a format accepted by banks and the Saudi Industrial Development Fund — and which doubles as a genuine operating plan you can run after launch.

Frequently asked questions
What does a feasibility study include?
A market study (demand, competition, pricing), a technical study (location, equipment, capacity, staffing), and a financial study (costs, cash flows, break-even, IRR, payback) with risk analysis and a final recommendation.
Do banks and lenders accept the study?
Yes. We prepare studies in the format and methodology banks and the Saudi Industrial Development Fund require, and address any lender queries through to approval.
What does a feasibility study cost?
Cost depends on project size and the depth of market research required. We provide a clear quote once we understand the scope, with no additional fees later.
What if the study shows the project is not viable?
We tell you plainly, with reasons. We usually propose adjustments to scope, location or business model that may change the outcome — and if no scenario works, discovering that on paper is far cheaper than discovering it after spending.
