Feasibility Report Survey

For our Small Business Development course, one of the requirements is to complete a feasibility report for a startup business plan.

As part of the market research this survey will attempt to determine the feasibility of running a not-for-profit Bistro, Café & Sweet Shoppe as a social enterprise* out of 320 Water Street and determining the wants and needs of our potential customers in regards to menu items, hours of operation, and price ranges.

Any information provided will be kept strictly confidential. Thank you for participating in this survey.

*Social Enterprise: is a revenue-generating business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to deliver profit to shareholders and owners.
