FINANCING OPTIONS: Pollution Control Loan Program POLLUTION CONTROL LOAN PROGRAM This program is available to the end user for the purpose of planning, designing or installing a "pollution control facility." This term is rather loosely defined to include most real or personal property which will reduce pollution. The program has a maximum SBA exposure of $1 million less any outstanding balance due SBA on other loans. Businesses that wants to build, installs, or services a pollution control facility can use the basic 7(a) program to accomplish their desired purpose. NOTE: There is nothing different in this program from the basic 7(a) loan other than the maximum amount of SBA's exposure and the fixed-asset-only use of proceeds.
