Expansão de uma empresa do varejo: análise da viabilidade econômica e suas implicações

Abstract

This work aims to perform an economic feasibility analysis for the opening of a branch of a retail company, specifically a stationery store. It is necessary to demonstrate the steps and methods used in the development of these analyses, given the high number of businesses that close prematurely due to a lack of adequate financial planning. The study examines the current market conditions, identifying opportunities and challenges for new entrepreneurs. The methodology includes a detailed bibliographical and documentary analysis of economic aspects, as well as a Case Study, taking into account initial and operational costs, and revenue projections. The research also encompasses a critical review of consumption trends, changes in purchasing patterns, and consumer preferences. Additionally, the work explores the importance of scenario analysis to anticipate potential changes in the business environment, seeking to identify external variables that may impact the venture, enabling the formulation of adaptive strategies. For this purpose, an initial investment survey was conducted, cash flow projection was analyzed, a Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) was defined, and financial indicators such as NPV, IRR, and Payback were calculated. The expected results include valuable insights for entrepreneurs interested in the stationery sector, providing a solid foundation for informed decision-making. By addressing not only economic viability but also the nuances of entrepreneurship and market dynamics, this study aims to contribute to the sustainable success of new ventures in the sector and to any conceptualization of a new business.
