What clients say
Venture Feasibility Study — specialty coffee roastery
Wei-Lin spent two mornings on Yongkang Road counting morning commuters and afternoon students. The report showed our rent-to-revenue ratio would breach 18% in the slow season. We renegotiated the lease before signing and opened six weeks later with numbers that actually matched.— Tsai Kun-Ming, roastery co-founder
Market Entry Assessment — physiotherapy clinic expansion
The district comparison was more useful than the franchise marketing pack. One area we liked had three clinics within 400 metres — the report flagged it clearly. We chose a second district and hit patient targets in month four.— Dr. Wu Shan-Hua, clinic director
Financial Model Review — franchise bakery disclosure
They found that the franchise template assumed staffing costs from Taipei, not Tainan. The adjustment changed our break-even by four months. I wish I had sent the spreadsheet earlier — the review itself was quick, but I lost a month sitting on the file.— Liu Ya-Ting, prospective franchisee
Venture Feasibility Study — children's tutoring centre
Honest defer recommendation. The building had parking issues parents would not tolerate. Hard to hear, but it saved us NT$1.2 million in fit-out on a location that would have failed within a year.— Chang Bo-Wei, education entrepreneur
Venture Feasibility Study — handmade soap retail
Thorough licensing section — I had not budgeted for the cosmetics registration timeline. The report was dense in places and I needed a second read-through, but every question my bank asked was answered in the appendix.— Hsu Pei-Yu, craft retail founder
Case note: Anping bakery deferral
Client: Couple planning a European-style bakery in Anping Old Street tourist area.
Challenge: High foot traffic but extreme seasonality and landlord-required renovation costs above their budget ceiling.
Our work: Three-day footfall survey across weekday, weekend, and holiday periods. Interviewed four neighbouring food vendors about average daily covers. Modelled revenue with a 60% drop during non-peak months.
Outcome: Report recommended deferring until the couple secured an additional NT$400,000 in working capital or chose a secondary location with lower rent. They waited one season, found a corner unit on a nearby side street, and opened with a healthier cash reserve. First-year revenue landed within 8% of our base scenario.
