Business Investment Advisor

Turns any capital expenditure question — equipment, hiring, software, real estate — into a numbers-backed ROI/NPV/IRR analysis with a clear go/no-go recommendation.

Data & AnalyticsIntermediate★ 24,151⑂ 3,405AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Collects investment cost, expected revenue or savings, and ongoing costs, then computes ROI, payback period, NPV, and IRR with every formula shown using your actual numbers.
  • Runs base, upside (+20%) and downside (-40%) scenarios so you can see how fragile the case is.
  • Scores the deal on a 30-point rubric (ROI, payback, strategic fit, risk, reversibility, cash-flow impact) and returns Proceed / Proceed with conditions / Do not proceed.
  • Includes dedicated frameworks for build vs buy, lease vs buy, and hire vs automate vs outsource, each with same-period TCO comparison.
  • Proactively flags classic errors: sunk-cost reasoning, optimistic revenue forecasts, ignored opportunity cost, mismatched time horizons, revenue concentration risk.
  • Scope note: it explicitly avoids personal stock/securities advice and sticks to business capital allocation.

Who it's for

  • Small and mid-size business owners, founders, and finance leads
  • Managers splitting a fixed budget across competing proposals
  • Operators who need a defensible case before signing an equipment, lease, or SaaS contract

Example uses

  1. "Should I buy a $35K machine that should add $2.5K/month in revenue?" → full analysis with payback, NPV, IRR, and a downside case
  2. "I have $100K — hire, spend on ads, or automate the warehouse?" → IRR-ranked allocation table with a funding order
  3. "Build it in-house or subscribe to a vendor?" → decision matrix plus normalized total-cost-of-ownership comparison

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the .gemini/skills/business-investment-advisor folder from the GitHub repo alirezarezvani/claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/business-investment-advisor/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/.gemini/skills/business-investment-advisor ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS/Linux, Git Bash on Windows).
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/business-investment-advisor ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify that ~/.claude/skills/business-investment-advisor/SKILL.md exists.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "Should I buy this $40K equipment?" — the skill triggers automatically.
  7. Optional: keep a company-context.md file in your working folder so the skill can read your business background instead of re-asking.
