Project Feasibility Business Case Template for Analysis

Key benefits & value for the buyer

This Business Case template reduces the time to produce a professional feasibility report from days to hours. It translates raw inputs into a defensible economic feasibility analysis with results presented in a compact executive dashboard. The template helps you:

• Produce consistent, auditable project appraisals that pass internal and external review.
• Compare alternatives quickly using scenario and sensitivity analysis tools included in the workbook.
• Avoid common modelling errors with locked calculation sheets and documented assumptions.
• Save consultancy hours by reusing a standard business case Excel model across projects.

Use cases & real-life scenarios

For accountants and financial controllers

Use the template to standardize capital investment requests: convert vendor quotations and depreciation schedules into consistent cash flows, compute NPV/IRR and produce a short decision memo for the board.

For data analysts and PMOs

Integrate operational assumptions (volumes, utilization rates) and run sensitivity sweeps to identify the most influential drivers before committing resources to pilots.

For small companies and project sponsors

Quickly assess technical feasibility and break-even points for new product launches, service expansions, or equipment purchases without investing in complex ERP modules.

Who is this product for?

The template is designed for:

• Accountants preparing investment appraisals or audit documentation.
• Financial analysts and consultants who need a repeatable business case Excel model.
• Companies that prefer lightweight, low-cost tools to evaluate projects before scaling to enterprise systems.
• Project managers and PMOs that require consistent project evaluation templates across departments.

How to choose the right variant

We offer the template in three practical options to match your needs:

• Standard (download): Ready-to-use workbook with inputs, calculations, and dashboard — best if you need an immediate business case template download.
• Professional (customizable): Standard + minor customizations (cost categories, timeline) performed by our team — recommended for accountants who want company-specific formatting.
• Implementation by hour: Full customization, data import, and VBA automation billed hourly — ideal when you need integration with existing reports or automated outputs.

Choose Standard for fast deployment, Professional if you need branded reports, or the hourly option when you require bespoke calculations or automation.

Quick comparison with typical alternatives

Alternatives include manual ad-hoc spreadsheets, full ERP/BI implementations, or hiring external consultants for each appraisal. The Business Case template offers a middle ground:

• Faster and cheaper than custom consultant work for routine appraisals.
• Less complex and more affordable than deploying ERP or BI tools for small project evaluations.
• More reliable and auditable than ad-hoc spreadsheets because the model structure and formulas are standardized and documented.

Best practices & tips to get maximum value

• Keep inputs on a single sheet and use named ranges — the model is already set up for this pattern.
• Document key assumptions in the assumptions sheet before running scenarios — it improves auditability.
• Use the scenario manager included to compare conservative, base and optimistic cases in one click.
• Lock calculation sheets (protection is optional) when sharing with third parties to preserve formula integrity.
• Contact ProXlsx for a short implementation hour block if you need data import or dashboard tweaks — saves time and reduces mistakes.

Common mistakes when buying or using similar products — and how to avoid them

• Buying an over-complex tool: Avoid models with unnecessary modules. Choose the template variant that matches your decision scope.
• Not aligning assumptions: Reconcile tax, discount rate and inflation assumptions with your finance policy before using outputs.
• Sharing editable formulas: Use the locked sheets or provide PDF summaries when sending to stakeholders to prevent accidental changes.
• No version control: Use a simple file naming convention (projectname_v1.xlsx) — we provide a version log sheet template inside the workbook.
