Unlock Insight, Secure Financing, Drive Success
At Falcon Data Service, we specialize in preparing comprehensive gas station feasibility studies designed to meet the requirements of SBA 504, SBA 7(a), USDA B&I, and commercial lenders.
Our studies provide the in-depth insight investors, developers, and lenders need to evaluate a project’s true potential before development begins.
With years of combined experience in the fuel, convenience store, and QSR industries, we analyze every aspect of a proposed gas station site — from land and traffic patterns to competitive saturation and projected ROI.
Why a Gas Station Feasibility Study Matters
A feasibility study ensures your project is built on solid data, not assumptions.
It answers critical questions such as:
- Is this location capable of supporting profitable fuel and retail sales?
- What is the competitive density in the area?
- How do traffic counts and local demographics translate into daily fuel volume?
- What are realistic sales, ROI, and debt-service coverage ratios (DSCR)?
Our feasibility reports provide the financial and market clarity you need to secure funding, reduce risk, and plan with confidence.
