Backscatter scanners use very low-dose X-rays. A dose of radiation can be expressed in microsieverts. It takes about 500,000 microsieverts to harm a developing baby. Backscatter units result in a radiation exposure of less than 1 microsieverts, which is far too low to cause damage to you or your child.
SBA 504 Loan. The US Small Business Administration 504 Loan or Certified Development Company program is designed to provide financing for the purchase of fixed assets, which usually means real estate, buildings and machinery, at below market rates.
The SBA guarantees most loans that go through banks. It is much easier to get an SBA guarantee if you put up collateral, but that is not your only option. You can also provide the SBA with your own personal guarantee. In doing so, the SBA can be certain that you will be held accountable for loan repayment.
