You can contact a local SBDC (Small Business Development Center) for help. Some of these are not called SBDC's, but also get names SBTDC's, SBA Development Centers, Centers for Entrepreneurship, etc. A good place to start is the business school at a local university/community college. They can provide some local support, but many of them require that you write the business plan yourself, so be prepared to take a class (about $2-$20 depending on the center.
The bplan site provides some guidance, but not much. Inc. Magazine puts out bplan guides "The Business Planning Guide" and "The Service Business Planning Guide." These are a good place to start.
Entrepreneurial instinct is important, but a lot of instinctive business owners fail. There is no substitute for proper planning and adequate financing.
As for a "feasibility analysis" the way you go about this depends on the type of business you are starting. There are differences in the approach for goods, versus services, versus retail, and also across industries within these categories.
Fell free to email me if you need more specific guidance. I've worked with over 100 businesses and written bplans requesting financing from $10,000 to $500,000.

I'd go to a bank that has someone who speaks your language, and then ask for help in writing a business plan.
