Business opportunity questions
These business opportunity questions explain how the scorecard works, what it can help with and where you still need your own validation.
Scorecard Basics
Start here if you are comparing several business ideas and want to understand what this site can and cannot help you decide.
What does Fat Cat Venture do?
It helps aspiring founders compare business opportunities by fit, demand, cost, time, geography, risk and first validation step. The site is built around practical opportunity evaluation, not passive-income promises or generic idea lists.
Is the scorecard free?
The launch scorecard is a free request flow. Any paid product, paid research or paid service will be described clearly before anyone pays.
Will the scorecard choose one idea for me?
It helps you narrow the field. The final choice depends on customer conversations, demand tests, cost checks, local rules, your risk tolerance and what you are willing to build next.
Do I need a business idea before using it?
No finished idea is required. You can use the scorecard when you have several vague directions and need a structured way to choose what to test first.
Validation and Responsibility
The scorecard can structure your thinking, but it should not replace market proof or qualified advice where the decision carries legal, tax, financial or investment consequences.
Is this legal, financial, tax or investment advice?
No. The scorecard and guides are informational. They do not replace advice from a qualified legal, tax, financial or investment professional.
Can I use this outside the United States?
Yes. The site is written for a global audience, and geography is part of the opportunity check. You should still confirm local rules, pricing, buyer behavior and market access in your own country or region.
What should I do after I receive a shortlist?
Pick one idea and run a small validation test. That can mean speaking with possible customers, checking search demand, pricing the first offer, finding the first sales channel or checking local legal requirements.
Practical rule
If a decision could cost meaningful money, create legal exposure, require licensing or affect your employment, use the scorecard only as a starting point and get qualified advice before acting.
Forms, Data and Contact
The request form asks only for context that helps frame your opportunity comparison.
What information does the form ask for?
The form asks for your name, email, country or region, founder stage, skills or background, available budget, weekly time, preferred business model and anything you are already considering.
Can I request help or ask a question?
Yes. Use the contact page if you have a question about the site, the scorecard or the opportunity-discovery flow.
Should I send confidential documents?
No. Do not send passwords, payment details, confidential documents or unnecessary sensitive information through the request flow.
