Feasibility Review in B2B SaaS
A feasibility review (aka feasibility study) is a comprehensive analysis to determine your SaaS business idea’s viability and potential success. A feasibility review aims to answer key questions about your potential SaaS business, such as the required architecture, the solution’s benefits, and, most importantly, if your idea has market potential (especially when compared to existing competitors).
Determining the Viability of Your B2B SaaS Business via Feasibility Review
Having a clear understanding of the feasibility of your SaaS business idea is crucial before investing significant time, effort, and resources.
One of the most important things that a feasibility review addresses are budgetary concerns, as many individuals and established businesses underestimate the costs of developing and running a SaaS application – this is especially nascent when compared to potential future revenue.
Our Approach to the Feasibility Review Process for B2B SaaS
Our SaaS consultants conduct an in-depth evaluation process designed to determine whether a proposed SaaS product or solution is viable and likely to succeed in the market. This review focuses on various aspects of the product’s development, implementation, and market potential to ensure that the business idea is both technically and commercially sound.

Areas of B2B SaaS Feasibility Covered
Market Feasibility: We start by assessing whether there’s a strong and clearly defined market for your SaaS solution. We dive into understanding the specific needs and pain points of your potential customers and determine how well your product addresses them. We also analyze the competitive landscape to pinpoint what makes your product unique. Our team forecasts demand by looking at current trends, customer interest, and the potential for growth, ensuring your product is positioned for success.
Technical Feasibility: Next, we evaluate whether the technology you’re using is up to the task. We examine your technology stack to ensure it’s the right fit for your product and capable of supporting its development and deployment. We assess the complexity of the build, considering the skills required, potential technical hurdles, and the timeline needed to launch. We also review the infrastructure requirements, ensuring you have the right cloud services, databases, and integrations in place for a scalable solution.
Operational Feasibility: We then look at whether you have the necessary resources and processes to bring your SaaS product to market and keep it running smoothly. We evaluate your development teams, customer support, and operational staff to ensure everything is in place for efficient execution. We examine your workflows and processes, making sure they’re designed for ongoing maintenance and customer support. Scalability is a key focus here—we ensure your solution can grow with your user base without compromising performance.
Financial Feasibility: We conduct a thorough financial analysis to ensure your SaaS project is economically viable. This includes estimating the costs for development, launch, and ongoing operations, such as infrastructure and marketing expenses. We project potential revenue based on your pricing models and expected market demand. Finally, we calculate the return on investment (ROI) and determine the break-even point, ensuring your project is financially sound and poised for profitability.
Legal and Compliance Feasibility: We make sure your SaaS product meets all necessary legal and regulatory requirements. This includes ensuring compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR and industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA. We identify potential legal risks, such as intellectual property issues, to protect you from future challenges. Our goal is to ensure your product is legally compliant and ready for market entry without unnecessary risk.
Go-to-Market Feasibility: Finally, we evaluate your go-to-market strategy to ensure it’s practical and effective. We assess your marketing approach, including the channels, messaging, and budget, to ensure it resonates with your target audience. We review your sales strategy, whether it involves a direct sales force, partnerships, or digital channels, to ensure it aligns with market expectations. We also ensure that your customer onboarding and support are set up to help new users quickly see the value of your product, leading to higher retention and satisfaction.
