Tips for Business Opportunity Evaluation
That Will Save You Millions

Stop guessing market size. Use these techniques to measure the true potential of your opportunity.

When you decided to start your own business, you chose a field you love, one in which you excel and have expertise. But after launching your business, you likely discovered that running a business involves much more than just practicing your profession. Suddenly, you’re dealing with accounting, marketing, business management, and a host of other responsibilities. When you trained for your profession, you were probably told that self-employment was the best path, but no one mentioned you’d need to master so many additional skills.

  • Examine the Real Market Need
    Before investing time and money, make sure your idea addresses a genuine need. Don’t rely on intuition alone, conduct thorough research to verify true market demand.
  • Identify the Real Competitors
    Don’t settle for recognizing only the competitors you already know. Conduct an in-depth review of all market players, including indirect and future competitors. Understand your unique advantage that will help you stand out.
  • Carefully Check Economic Viability
    Prepare a realistic financial forecast. Instead of relying on hope, use concrete data. Check procurement costs, revenue potential, and ensure the price matches the value you offer.
  • Use Professional Models for Opportunity Evaluation
    Adopt professional tools like Porter’s Competitive Analysis, Customer Value Mapping, and Economic Feasibility Analysis. These provide a systematic framework for understanding business potential.
  • Focus on Strategic Resource Investment
    Your time and money are limited. Identify the critical points that will truly move your business forward, rather than scattering resources in all directions. A professional evaluation will help you focus your investments where they matter most.

Remember: Business opportunity evaluation is not a bureaucratic step—it is the key to turning a good idea into a successful business.
