The SBA has just launched a new “Build a Business Plan” online tool that guides small business owners through the process of creating a basic, downloadable business plan. The great thing about this tool is you can build a plan in smaller bites, save your progress and return at your leisure.

To use the tool, you’ll need to be a member of the SBA Community and then log in. The tool offers a tab-based step-by-step guide that lets you enter information into a template for each section of the business plan, including market analysis, company description and financial projections. The tool is secure and confidential and will keep your plan on record for up to six months. You can also save, download or email the plan at any time.   www.sba.gov

Perception & Ability is an exhibition that will address the negative perceptions caused by labeling a person’s ability. Artists will respond in a contemporary manner and the work will be installed at Johns Hopkins University’s Evergreen Museum & Library, which will respond to the experience of the house’s one-time-owner Ambassador John Work Garrett (1872-1942) in an historic manner.

Perception & Ability will open March 10, with a reception on March 12, and close on May 26, 2013. Deadline for submission is December 30, 2012. Submissions will be reviewed by a jury in January.  Application HERE.
