Based on the results obtained from the market research, the operational capacity of the project is determined, the necessary resources for its implementation are identified, and their availability is assessed. Furthermore, the appropriate location for the project is considered, and the essential operational processes required to provide the service are defined. An organizational structure based on processes related to business activities is established. Additionally, a comprehensive financial analysis will be conducted, examining various evaluation criteria to determine the project's economic viability.
