A SWOT analysis is a technique which is used to check the growth and success of a business or a project that we do. SWOT stands for, Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats, after doing a SWOT analysis we are able to find our strength and weakness the areas to make changes and improve.SWOT analysis is a very powerful tool to succeed your business by studying the market and finding alternate solutions to beat your opponent by not having any competition.

This part of the analysis will provide a lot of information about the areas that we have to stick on and which kind of strategy we have to continue or give more importance.
