How Do Small Businesses Leverage Energy Modeling Reports?

The SBA 504 Green Loan offers businesses up to $5.5 million per project with no cap on total borrowing for energy-efficient upgrades. To qualify, companies must reduce energy usage by at least 10%, generate 15% or more from renewables, or achieve LEED certification. An energy modeling report from National Tax Group (NTG) ensures eligibility by simulating energy use and savings without requiring a site inspection. With long-term rates under 5% and financing covering up to 90% of project costs, this program makes sustainable improvements both affordable and beneficial—helping businesses save money while reducing their carbon footprint.
