In light of the uncertainties surrounding the current economic and political scenario in Brazil, the economic-financial viability analysis gains an even greater importance in the process of evaluating new investment projects, especially for small businesses. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a method of economic-financial feasibility analysis for investment projects for a small company that provides traffic control services, assisting in the decision making process. In order to accomplish that, bibliographic researches were conducted for theoretical basis on the topic, and interviews with members of the company were also conducted for gathering all data necessary for the analysis of a specific project of interest to the company. Three scenarios of simulation were also defined to the analysis of this particular project, considering different combinations of variables that have a direct impact on the results. So, the proposed method takes into consideration the estimates and projections of cash flow and the estimates of cost of capital to indicate the economic viability of the project through the analysis of the financial indicators discounted payback, net present value and return on investment. In conclusion, by the application of the proposed method, all objectives set for this work were met, indicating that the project analyzed is considered economic viable within the parameters established for the study.
